Instructions
  1. Beat the butter until smooth. Add the condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla, milk, baking powder, pinch of salt, and flour little by little. It should form a smooth paste. Then add the nuts.
  2. Spread a generous tablespoon of the paste on the tamal leaf. Add cajeta and a bit more of the mixture on top. Close the sides by folding them. Finally, fold the tip down and tie with a corn husk strip.
  3. Insert the Instant Pot® rack. Add 1½ cups of water and add the tamales.
  4. Close and lock the Instant Pot® lid. Make sure the steam release handle is turned to Sealing. Press Steam and set time to 20 Minutes.
  5. Serve hot and garnish with more cajeta and nuts.
