Elicet's Tamales con Queso: The pictures are coming soon, but first you should know that tamales are for breakfast, snack or midnight nosh especially when accompanied by a fine, dark, mildly spicy cup of cafe or dark chocolate cocoa... A lovely blend of corn meal, sugar, heavy cream, melted butter AND milk, blended until it is the consistency of pancake batter is scooped into corn husk (steamed until pliable), wrapped like a burrito and then wrapped like a burrito in another husk. Several of these little packets are set onto a steamer rack in a large pot and 1/3 pot of water, covered and steamed for about 45 minutes to an hour. Use tongs to pull each one out, serve immediately unwrapped on un plato with a dollop of Queso de Honduras (a salty cream cheese/sour cream blend). Mmmmmm.Mmmmmm.Mmmmmm. Like I said, the pictures are coming soon... (and Elicet returns in March with Tamales con Pollo...)
