E NVUELTOS

INGREDIENTS

10 tender ears of corn

1/4 lb butter or margarine
A pinch of salt
1.5 cups of sugar(or more depending on your taste)
1 Tbs of vanilla extract
1 lb. shredded cheese (if desired)
A few Tbs. of corn flour


DIRECTIONS

With a knife take off the tender corn and put it in a grinder; if you don’t have that, you can use a food processor or a blender. Place the ground corn in a bowl. Add the sugar, the vanilla extract, the butter or margarine and the cheese. Mix all together. If you like the Envueltos sweeter you can add more sugar depending on your taste. If the ground corn is too runny, you can add a few spoons of corn flour.

To make the Envueltos, use the corn's leaves and put inside of those more or less two Tbs. of this preparation and fold. continue until all of the corn mixture is used. The amount added to each leaf depends on how big you want the Envuelto to be or how big the leaf is. Cook in steam more or less 45 minutes. The cooking time depends too, on the amount of Envueltos. You can smell them when they are fully cooked.

Envueltos are typical in my country and in most cases are eaten as a substitute for bread at breakfast!
