Chevy'S Sweet Corn Tamalitos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 tablespoons margarine, softened
    1/4 cup masa harina flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
    1/2 cup cornmeal
    1/2 cup water
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 teaspoon milk
Preparation
    In a small bowl, mix the margarine, masa and sugar with mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
    Blend 1/2 the corn kernels with the water in a blender until smooth.
    Combine with margarine mixture, stirring well.
    Add the remaining corn, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and milk.
    Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
    Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking dish.
    Tightly cover with plastic wrap and set atop the saucepan of boiling water.
    Keep pan tightly wrapped and steam for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
    Check water level often, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    I have also made this in the oven, setting the pan in a water bath.
    I do not know the temp I had the oven on, or how long I kept it inches If anyone tries it, please add that info.
