Indian Shuck Bread

12 corn husks

2 cups yellow cornmeal

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Soak corn husks in water until softened about 1 hour

Blot dry and tear off 24 quarter inch strips from the husks and set them and the larger husks aside

Stir together the cornmeal, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and cayenne with 1-1/2 cups boiling water until a soft dough forms

Pat the dough into 1-by 3 inch logs using about 2-1/2 tbsp dough per log

Wrap each log with the larger corn husk pieces and tie the ends, to form a packet, with the reserved strips

Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil

Add the packets and cook for 15 minutes

Remove and serve while still hot in the husks, along with Butter
