12 tamales

Tamales
12 large dried corn husks, soaked in warm water to soften
2 cups masa harina
½ cup softened butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups mango nectar
2 large ripe mangos, peeled, pitted, and diced (reserve 2 cups for topping)

Mango Topping
¼ cup orange liqueur or orange juice
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch or dash cinnamon
2 cups chopped mango
Lime wedges

Methods/steps
Tamales
  • Remove softened corn husks from water and pat dry.
  • In medium bowl, beat together masa, butter, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon until fluffy. Beat in mango nectar until smooth.
  • Spread equal amounts of mixture in the center of each corn husk. Top each with 2 tablespoons chopped mango.
  • Bring in the sides of the corn husks so that the edge of the masa meet, then fold in both ends to enclose filling.
  • Steam for 1 hour, then let cool slightly.

Mango Topping

  •  Combine orange liqueur or juice, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in 2 cups diced mango and cook for a few more minutes.
Serve warm sauce over warm tamales with lime wedges on the side.
