12 large dried corn husks, soaked in warm water to soften
2 C. masa harina
½ C butter softened
½ C brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 ¼ tsp. cinnamon
2 C. mango nectar
2 large ripe mangos, peeled, pitted and chopped. ( makes about 2 ½ C, use ½ C. for tamales and save 2 C. for mango topping)
For the Mango Topping
¼ C orange liqueur or orange juice
¼ C. brown sugar
1 Tbs. butter
1 pinch cinnamon
2 C. chopped mango
Lime wedges
Tamales: Remove husks from water and pat dry. In medium bowl, beat together masa, butter, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon until fluffy. Beat in mango nectar until smooth. Spread equal amounts of mixture in the center of each corn husk; top each with 2 Tbs. chopped mango. Bring in the sides of the corn husks so that the edges of the masa meet, then fold in both ends to enclose filling. Steam for 1 hour, then let cool slightly.
Mango Topping: Combine orange liqueur or orange juice, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 Cups chopped mango and cook for a few minutes more. Serve warm sauce over warm tamales with lime wedges on the side.
