Add baking powder and butter; mixing until ingredients are incorporated and texture resembles masa. For assembling each tamale, lay two moistened corn husks on work surface creating a rectangle. Place 2 ounces of the rice masa, then 3 ounces ha gow filling, then 2 more ounces of the rice masa on top. Wrap and place in steamer. Steam approximately 50-60 minutes until rice is cooked.
