Medium

Add the corn kernels to the processor and grind lightly. Mix the ground corn with the flour and cottage cheese perfectly. Beat the butter with the sugar until it is slightly fluffy. Add the butter to the corn mixture and stir until combined; add the baking powder and salt. Place two or three tablespoons of the mixture on each corn leaf and close. You can tie the tamales with a strip of the leaf to prevent them from opening. Heat the water in the steamer, arranging the tamales upright one by one. Cover tightly and cook for about 1 hour. Uncover the steamer after the time is up and check if they are cooked. The leaf should come off easily.
