Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) butter, softened
• 0.33 Cups (cup) masa harina
• 0.25 Cups (cup) water
• 1 Cup (cup) frozen corn, pureed
• 1 Cup (cup) frozen corn
• 0.25 Cups (cup) cornmeal
• 0.33 Cups (cup) white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add masa harina and water to the creamed butter and beat until smooth.
3. Blend 1 cup of corn in a blender until smooth. Stir the pureed corn, the remaining 1 cup of corn, and cornmeal into the masa harina mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, baking powder, and salt. Pour this sugar mixture into the corn mixture and stir to combine.
5. Spoon the corn batter into an ungreased 8-inch square baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
6. Fill a 9x13-inch casserole dish 1/3 full with hot water. Place the covered 8-inch square dish into the water bath.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the 8x8-inch dish from the water bath and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
