Being from an Italian Heritage ~ this very much sounds like a recipe my Great Grandmother and Aunts made... however, and alas - they are not around to 'translate further' :-( I am unfortunately not 'educated' enough to guesstimate on the amounts and what you mean by 'corn prepared for pasteira'... I would LOVE to attempt this recipe, someday...
