this is a delicious family recipe. it goes with the rest of the tamale dishes. i'm actually not sure so if one if you would like to leave a comment and tell mne, that would be greatly appreciated. all in all, it should take about 3 hours. Ingredients:
5 lbs masa harina flour, preparada |
1 3/4 cups water |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 lb lard |
1 package corn husk |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients except the lard in one mixing bowl.
2. Whip the lard separately in another bowl till fluffy.
3. Combine the two, mixing thoroughly until a small quantity of the masa floats when placed in a cup of water.
4. (Prepare pot for steaming with rocks or foil balls on the bottom and a layer of husks.) Soak the corn husks in water for a couple of hours.
5. Separate the husks into wide enough sheaves to wrap a tamale.
6. Spread the masa out on the husk with the back of a spoon to a thickness of about 1/8 of an inch (cover the husk) over appoximately 1/3 of the husk.
7. (Leave some room on the bottom to wrap up.) Insert filling in the center, wrap, fold the bottom, stand in pot and steam for two hours.
