Blend the corn kernels in the blender gradually and set aside in a bowl. Add the sugar and baking powder and mix perfectly to integrate all the ingredients until a homogeneous mixture forms. Add a tablespoon of the dough to the fresh corn husk, fold in half, and then cover with the other part as shown in the video. Set aside. In a pot with a double boiler, place the uchepos standing up so that the filling does not spill, cover with the leftover husks, lid, and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes or until cooked. Serve on a clay plate and enjoy with a delicious champurrado.
