Prepare the corn husks: Soak the corn husks in warm water for at least 30 minutes until pliable. Drain and pat dry.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, granulated sugar, cornstarch, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: You can pulse some of the corn kernels in a food processor for a smoother texture if desired, but keep some whole for texture. - 3
To assemble the tamales, lay a softened corn husk flat. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the corn mixture onto the wider end of the husk.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Don't overfill the husks. - 4
Fold the sides of the corn husk over the filling, then fold the bottom up to create a sealed packet. Tie with a strip of corn husk if needed to secure.

Arrange the tamales upright in a large steamer pot, ensuring they are not packed too tightly. Add water to the pot, making sure it does not touch the tamales.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use a steamer basket or rack to keep tamales elevated. - 6
Cover the pot and steam the tamales over medium-high heat for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the tamales are firm and cooked through. Check water level periodically and add more if needed.
