2 pounds hojas (corn husks)...2 pounds masa...1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening...1 cup granulated sugar...1/4 cup warm water, as needed...2 tablespoons cinnamon...1 cup dry raisins...
Method 1...Fill a large kettle with two inches of fresh water. Add a steamer basket to the bottom of the kettle, and bring the water to a boil.
Meanwhile, shuck the corn, removing all silk. Arrange the corn in a single layer in the steam basket, and place the lid on the pan. Bring it to a full boil. The moment it reaches full boil, remove the pan from the burner, and let it stand for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on how large the ears are. Serve with butter, salt and pepper. (If you want to add even more sweetness to the corn, you can sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over it before it begins to boil.)
