Ingredients
Tamales:
- 12 corn husks dried and soaked in warm water to soften, large
- 2 cups masa harina corn flour
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed; Domino® brand
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 cups mango nectar
- 2 cups Mango ripe, about 2
- lime garnish, wedges
Topping:
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur or orange juice
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed; Domino® brand
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cinnamon dash
- 2 cups Mango about 2; ripe; chopped
Instructions
Tamales:
- Remove husks from water; pat dry.
- In a medium bowl, beat together masa, butter, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until fluffy. Beat in nectar until smooth. Spread equal amounts of the mixture in the center of each corn husk; top with 2 tablespoons of chopped mango. Bring in the sides of the corn husks so that the edges of the masa meet, then fold in both ends to enclose filling.
- Steam for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, then let cool slightly.
Topping:
- Combine orange liqueur or orange juice, sugar, butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in chopped ripe mango; cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve warm sauce over warm tamales with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- If you cannot find fresh mango, use thawed frozen.
