💡 Tip: Soak the corn husks in hot water for 30 minutes; otherwise they break while wrapping. If the mixture looks too runny, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons corn flour for a steadier texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Place the pamonhas on plates with their husks; for the sweet version add butter and sugar on top, and for the savory version pair with white cheese or beef pastirma slices.
