In reply to Maricruz.

I thaw out the frozen corn and poke holes on the corn bag and squeeze out excess liquid.
Place the thawed corn on a large cookie sheet and place in oven (350 degrees) for about 15 minutes. This will take out excess liquid out.
Now it’s ready to put into food processor

In reply to Cari. Hi, I don't think so. The dough will become too watery after.

Can I make these corn tamales and freeze them before steaming? Then thaw and steam. Thank you.

In reply to Claudia. Yes, Claudia. Just make sure to adjust the quantity of sugar as canned corns is usually more sweet than fresh.

In reply to Carla Biggs. Hola Carla, puedes usar polenta pero la instantanea que normalmente es de grano muy fino.

Maravillosa y deliciosa receta!!! Una pregunta, en lugar de CORNMEAL, puedo usar POLENTA? O es demasiado gruesa la textura…?

This is probably a dumb question, But could these be eaten for dinner as well? Not just breakfast or a snack.

In reply to Becks. Hi Becks, try adding some masa harina to the corn mixture to make the dough more dense. You'll need to adjust the flavor too as this recipe is for sweet tamales.
