  • In a large bowl combine the masa, pumpkin and sugar. Add the vanilla, mace, cinnamon, and raisins and mix until well blended.
  • To assemble the tamales, place 2 - 3 heaping tablespoons of the masa mixture in the net of the smooth side of the corn husk.
  • Fold the sides of the husk in toward the center and tie the tamale at both ends.
  • Prick the husk several times using the tip of a very sharp knife. Repeat for the remaining tamales.
  • Steam the tamales for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Serve with a dollop of crema.
