Sweet Tamale

Sweet Tamale

EverydayCookedSweetened

Sweet tamales are traditional Latin American treats made from sweetened corn masa (dough) that's steamed in corn husks or banana leaves. Unlike their savory counterparts, these tamales incorporate sugar or piloncillo into the masa and often feature fillings such as fruits, nuts, or chocolate. The steaming process creates a tender, moist cake-like texture while the corn-based dough provides complex carbohydrates and essential minerals typical of whole grain foods.
