Sweet strawberry tamales ingredients:
1. As always the first step will be to gather the ingredients, so here we present everything we will use to make our sweet strawberry tamales.
2. On the one hand we start soaking the corn leaves. This procedure is basic in the preparation of any type of tamales, since in this way we ensure that the leaves are flexible and do not break when forming the tamales.
3. On the other hand, to start with the preparation of the tamales, we beat the butter a little. To do this, place it in a broad container.
4. Since the butter is ready we add the ground corn dough.
5. Next we also add refined sugar and baking powder.
6. Finally we add the liquid that can be water, as indicated in the ingredients or can also be some soft flavor juice.
7. since we have ready all the ingredients we begin to beat to generate a homogeneous mass.
Trick: To know when the dough is at its point and that the tamales are spongy, I recommend that in a cup of water you drop a drop of dough, if this fleet on the surface means that the dough is ready.
8. To give the final touch to the dough of our sweet tamales we add the vegetable paint to give it the characteristic reddish touch of the strawberry. We reserve our dough for a moment.
9. Meanwhile, in a deep pot we put a kitchen grid and add 2 cups of water taking care that it does not cover the rack, we slowly put over heat. We do this to cook the steamed tamales, so if you have a steamer you can also use it.
10. Next, we recover the leaves we were soaked, we verify that they are soft and flexible and then we form the tamales. To do this, it begins by placing an open sheet on the extended hand, as seen in the photo.
11. We will add from 1 to 2 spoons of our dough on the sheet, distributing the content with great care over the lower half from one side to another.
Trick: Try not to add too much mass on each sheet to prevent it from getting out of the tamal during cooking.
12. Since we have the dough on the leaf we will add the filling, in this case it will be a teaspoon of jam and a little raisid grapes.
13. Once stuffed it is time to close the tamal. To do it correctly, we fold the lateral ends of the leaf to the center, one after another and in the end we fold the upper part of the leaf back, just as far as we spread the dough to look like in the image.
14. Since we have all the strawberry tamales we accommodate them in the pot that we have prepared and steamed for about 35 minutes. Try to accommodate the tamales in the pot so that the dough is not spilled, as seen in the photo.
15. PLEASE !!!! Now we can enjoy some rich sweet strawberry tamales. These types of tamales with jam are perfect to serve at breakfast or surprise during the snack. If you want to meet other fun Mexican desserts, we recommend you try the mosaic jelly cake.
