👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Reserve the largest, cleanest husks for wrapping the humitas. Blanch the reserved husks in boiling water for 1-2 minutes to make them pliable. Drain and set aside.
2
Cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Scrape any remaining milk from the cobs into a blender or food processor.
3
Add the corn kernels to the blender/food processor. Blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches.
4
In a large bowl, combine the blended corn, milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
5
Gently fold in the crumbled cheese.
6
To assemble: Lay two corn husks on a flat surface, overlapping slightly. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the corn mixture onto the center of the husks.
7
Fold the bottom of the husks up over the filling, then fold the sides in to create a neat rectangular packet. Fold the top down to seal.
8
Secure the humitas with string or kitchen twine. Repeat with the remaining batter and husks.
9
Steam the humitas in a steamer basket over boiling water for 30-40 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Add more boiling water to the pot if needed.
10
Carefully unwrap the humitas and serve warm.
