Ingredients

12 ears of corn with husks, fresh and clean
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons Minas-style cheese or grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon margarine or butter

Where to find ingredients

Find the ingredients in the fresh produce section, the dairy aisle, and the baking/cooking staples area of a supermarket or local market; if needed, use a substitute for Minas cheese with a mild fresh cheese or Parmesan-style cheese.

Preparation method

  3. Place the kernels in a blender and blend until you get a finely ground mixture.
  4. Add the milk to the corn cream and process again until smooth.

  7. Wash the reserved husks under running water.
  8. Shape small pouches with the husks, forming individual portions.
  9. Fill each pouch with the corn cream, sealing the ends well and tying with kitchen twine.
  10. Place the pamonhas in a pot of boiling water to cook.
  11. Cook for about 10 minutes until set.
  12. Remove the pamonhas from the water, drain, and serve warm or at room temperature.
