Ingredients:
4 Cups corn, fresh, yellow
1 Small onion, red
1 Each salt and pepper
Directions:
Two hours before you form the tamales, clean the husks under running water. Soak them in warm water for about 2 hours or until softened.

Puree the corn, onion, roasted garlic and 1 1/2 cups water in a food processor or blender. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the butter. Add the cornmeal, wild rice and honey, season with salt and pepper, and mix until there are no visible lumps; the mixture will be loose.

Remove the corn husks from the water and set aside the best 20 husks. Pat dry. Tear the remaining husks into 1-inch wide strips to be used for tying. Lay 2 husks flat on a work surface with the tapered ends facing left and right and the broad centers overlapping each other by about 3 inches. Place about 1/3 cup of the masa mixture in the center. Bring the long sides up over the masa, slightly overlapping, and pat down to close. Tie each end of the bundle with a strip of corn husk, pushing the filling toward the middle as you tie. The tamales can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated.

Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in the bottom of the steamer. Arrange the tamales in a single layer on a steamer rack, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and steam for 45 to 75 minutes, until firm to the touch.

To serve, arrange 1 tamale on each of 8 serving plates. Using a paring knife, cut a slit lengthwise in the top of each tamale and push both ends of the tamale toward the middle to expose the masa. Top each serving with a heaping tablespoon of thyme butter. Do not eat the husks.
