I have made this a couple of times but was never satisfied. I have not made this for years until my daughter reminded me about the sweet tamales i use to make while we were at Mexicantown during the Cinco de Mayo. So, i revisited the recipe did some tweaking and finally i believe i perfected the recipe this time=;)
Ingredients:
3 cups scraped young corn (from fresh young corn on the cob)
1 can condensed milk
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup masa harina (corn meal)***
***you will have to adjust the amount of cornmeal depending on the consistency of the mix.
1. Mix all ingredients. Prepare fresh husk of young corn. Use husk near the cob as it is the best part and easier to handle. If you’re using dried corn husk soak in warm water for few minutes.
2. Drop a heaping tablespoon of young corn mixture into middle of corn husk. Fold husk lengthwise and tie ends or bring two ends together, tie then push mixture to center.
3. Steam tied husk (pintos) for at least 30 minutes
Wow, what a presentation and detailed cooking guide. Can I just order these yummy meals instead of cooking them myself_ Keep up the great job
ReplyDeleteThanks, A. Hhmmm,if you're in my neck of the woods we can talk about ordering=;). But I'm sure you can make your own delish pintos by trying this recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi Inday,
ReplyDeleteSalamat kaayo sa mga recipes. Your food photos are really beautiful! Makes me want to eat it!
I really missed this food! I had a friend in Bogo, Cebu who used to bring us all pintos which her mom made. This food made them famous as well in Bogo...Oh hopefully, I can make the same pintos with your recipe... Thanks a lot!!!
ReplyDeletehi!WOW KAAU AKO GISUWAYAN UG LUTO LAMI JUD...ASK UNTA KO UG CEBUANO CHORIZO RECIPE

ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you for visiting and for leaving me some comment. Na-a' diay sauce ang pintos? i remember usahay fresh coconut w/ little sugar will be served on the side. Unsa man ang sauce unta ani? Sorry for asking the same question.
ReplyDeleteHi, Monaliza...you're welcome! Hope this pintos is the same or even closer to the pintos you've loved. As for the chorizo recipe, i have yet to find a better version. I don't like the recipes i've found.
ReplyDeletehi!...i'm very excited to find this recipe for pintos. Can't wait to try this. Hope this will taste as good as the pintos my mom and i used to eat at one of the restaurants in cebu. salamat
ReplyDeleteHi!.. please help me for the history of pintos? how iu started from bogo? salamat kaayo
ReplyDeleteHi, So sorry i can't help you w/ that. To be honest, i really thought this originated in Cebu. Good luck and hope you'll find out the history of pintos.
ReplyDeletepintos is a delicacy of Bogo, Cebu. As far as I know, there's no sauce for pintos. You have to eat it as it is. It goes better with hot sikwate.
ReplyDeletehi,wer man ta kapalit dri sa cebu ug masa harina?
ReplyDeleteHi, sikwate sounds good. That makes me crave to make this again;)
ReplyDeleteHello, if i remember it right, masa harina is the same w/ maiz na ginaling. My mom use to cook the ginaling na maiz just like rice.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletehi, is the corn meal the same as the corn grits #14 sold in the local market? or do we have to it grind again for finer texture? i'd like to try your version of the pintos recipe. thank you.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about how fine #14 corn grits. Corn meal is really fine though..almost like flour texture. But i think corn grits will work too. Good luck, hope you'll like it. Let us know how it went. Thanks
DeleteHi! Daghaaannggg salamat for the recipe. The last time I had this was several years ago, made by an acquaintance who said she could not share the recipe. I had to order from her. She did nail it, reminded me of all the pintos I bought at "Juliana Trading" in Cebu, when I was in college. I am definitely switching my cooking mood on (which doesn't come very often, lol!), print your recipe and hope that it will not be a disaster. This brings back memories.....Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHello! This looks really good! I'd like to ask where you bought the masa harina? :)

ReplyDeleteHi, Kimberly. I bought the masa harina at a regular grocery store by the Mexican aisle. It is sometimes displayed at the International aisle, too. Thank you for dropping by. Hope you'll love this as well.

ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for sharing this recipe, we call it Binaki in Cagayan de Oro. I will try cooking it. Quick question, if you can't buy fresh corn, can you use canned cream style corn instead? Thanks!
