The "tamal de elote" is a traditional and delicious dish found in the cuisine of several Latin American countries, but it is especially popular in Mexico and some regions of Central America. This tamale is different from other tamales because of its main ingredient: sweet corn or elote.
Preparing corn tamale generally involves the following steps:
1. Corn grinding: Sweet corn, which is a variety of sweet, tender corn, is shelled and ground into a fine dough. Sugar, salt, lard or margarine, and often a little milk or cream, are added to this dough to give it a milder flavor and creamier texture.
2. Flavoring: Depending on the recipe and region, additional ingredients may be added to flavor the corn tamale, such as vanilla, cinnamon, lemon or orange zest.
3. Wrapping in corn or banana leaves: The corn dough is placed in previously soaked corn or banana leaves to soften them. It is then folded and tied to form individual packages known as "tamales." Tamales are steamed or boiled until cooked.
The result is a corn tamale with a sweet flavor and soft texture, which can be enjoyed as a dessert or as a snack throughout the day. It is often served with cream, fresh cheese, or sprinkled with icing sugar before serving. It is a traditional delicacy during holidays and celebrations, but is also found in bakeries and markets throughout the year.
