Coconut and Pineapple Tamales

I love this recipe for coconut and pineapple tamales because it deviates from the typical sweet tamales and they are delicious.

Servings
  • 1 can canned pineapple, cut into pieces (filling)

Medium
  • Mix the pineapple with the coconut in a bowl. Set aside.
  • In a mixer, cream the butter and beat until fluffy. When it turns white, add the flour and beat a little more. Gradually add the cinnamon infusion, the rest of the flour, and water while continuing to mix.
  • Incorporate the baking powder and sugar, and beat until fully combined.
  • Carefully spread the dough over the husks, using the back of a spoon to extend the dough, and place a bit of filling in the center.
  • Fold each end of the husk inward and finally fold the tip.
  • In a steamer, arrange corn husks at the bottom and place the tamales you made inside. Leave them in for about an hour and a half or check the tamales until the husk peels off easily.
