Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer for 3 minutes or until the mixture is fluffy, then add the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the Tres Estrellas® rice flour, baking powder, and vanilla with the help of a spatula and incorporate until the ingredients are perfectly combined. Place a tablespoon of dough on one of the tamale leaves and add blackberries and cheese to taste. Close the leaf and repeat the steps until the dough is finished. Place the tamales in a steamer and cook for about 1 hour, until the dough easily pulls away from the leaf. Serve the tamales with cream and fresh blackberries.

In case the dough needs a little more moisture, you can add milk; the amount will depend on the texture, which should be manageable and smooth but not watery.
