Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  2. Blend 1/2 the corn kernels with the water in a blender until smooth.
  3. Combine with margarine mixture, stirring well.
  4. Add the remaining corn, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and milk.
  5. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
  6. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish.
  7. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and set atop the saucepan of boiling water.
  8. Keep pan tightly wrapped and steam for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  9. Check water level often, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. I have also made this in the oven, setting the pan in a water bath.
  11. I do not know the temp I had the oven on, or how long I kept it inches If anyone tries it, please add that info.
