Reduce heat to low & simmer 10 minutes. Drain in colander. Cool Generously oil a 1-1/2 quart souffle dish. Arrange husks, pointed end up in an over lapping spoke design to completely line the bottom and sides of dish. Husks should extend about 2 past the rim. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Cut corn from cobs. Set aside in a bowl and reserve. In a large bowl, beat together masa, water, shortening, butter, salt and baking powder to make a batter.

Place half of remaining batter into food processor bowl fitted with a chopping blade; add the chilies, parsley, cilantro and green onion. Mix until smooth. Spoon mix on top of corn (2 nd layer). Rinse the processor bowl. In the processor with chopping blade, use the rest of the batter, the red pepper, chili powder and hot sauce. Process until smooth. Spoon mix on top.
