Soak the corn husks in a container with water (make sure they are 100% covered with water). In a deep bowl, mix the corn flour and water together and set aside. In an electric mixer, beat the butter until fluffy. Add the corn flour and chicken broth and mix well. In a blender, blend the huitlacoche with 2 tablespoons of water and cilantro. Add this mixture to the tamale dough and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. To make the tamales, take a corn husk and place a large tablespoon of tamale dough in the center. Fold the husks over the dough and secure with a string. Repeat with all the dough. Prepare a steamer and steam the tamales for 40 minutes. Remove the tamales from the steamer and serve.
