soak corn husks in warm water until soft, about 20 min.
beat butter about 3 min.  until light add, wet masa, baking powder and salt.  beat 20 min.  when it's ready a chunk of masa dropped in a glass of water will float.  cut kernels and beat into masa with chilies.

open each husk flat on the table with a wide end toward you. spread husk with about 2 T. masa, lay cheese down the middle fold sides in and then bring the top end toward you.

Steam tamales by placing them standing on end, open end up on a rack in a large steamer or pressure cooker.  steam for 45 min.  or pressure cook for 20 min.  at 15 # pressure.  let tamales rest 15 min.  then serve.
