The origin of tamales dates back to Mesoamerican civilizations, where they were considered a sacred food. The Aztecs, Mayas and other pre-Hispanic peoples prepared tamales for religious celebrations and special events, using them as offerings to the gods and as food during long journeys or battles. This versatility and practicality caused tamales to spread rapidly throughout the country, with each region adopting its own ingredients and methods of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamales Dulces con Pasas, in particular, have a history that reflects the fusion of cultures and traditions. With the arrival of the Spaniards, new ingredients such as sugar, dried fruits and spices were introduced and incorporated into the indigenous cuisine, creating new and delicious variants of tamales. The combination of corn masa, a staple in the pre-Hispanic diet, with the sweetness of raisins and sugar, resulted in a recipe that quickly became a holiday favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Tamales Dulces con Pasas are a symbol of celebration and family togetherness. They are common at Christmas parties, Candlemas Day and other special occasions, where they are shared with friends and family, creating unforgettable moments around the table. Their preparation continues to be an art that is passed down from generation to generation, preserving the love and dedication that each step of the process requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 package (8 oz.) dried corn husks
1 cup vegetable shortening, divided use
2 1\/2 cups masa harina
11\/2 cups yellow corn flour
1\/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 1\/2 cups of water
1 can (14 oz.) condensed milk
Condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
1\/2 cup chopped walnuts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method of preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Gather the corn husks, separating the broken ones. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Soak intact leaves in warm water for at least 1 hour or until they are soft and easy to fold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Beat 2\/3 cup of the butter in a bowl until creamy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Alternately, add the flour mixture, water and condensed milk to the shortening, mixing the ingredients well after each addition. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Melt the remaining butter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Gradually beat the batter mixture to a thick cake batter consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract, raisins and nuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Spread 1\/4 cup of dough, using the back of a spoon, to form a square in the center of a corn husk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Fold the right side of the sheet over the dough, then the left side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Fold the bottom edge well. Do the same with the rest of the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Place a steamer basket inside a pot with a lid (or use a tamalera). Pour water until it reaches just to the bottom of the basket. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Arrange tamales vertically in the basket. Cover with the remaining leaves and a damp cloth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Cover them. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. To conserve steam, add more water if necessary, and let tamales boil for 1 1\/2 to 2 hours or until masa begins to loosen from leaves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
