The meat part ain't hard.
Mixing the tamale dough is not hard either. Rolling them bastids is tough. I tried it a couple months ago with some left over smoked Pork. Be sure to keep the dough a little wet. If it is dry, it will stick to everything. Too wet, it will fall apart. Make sure your husks are soft and real wet too. Use lots of spice. If you make the Pork just right, the plain tastinng dough will make it less spicey. |

Gotta make sure those corn husks are damp. The massa cornmeal is hard to keep consistently moist enough not to stick. You know my Maw Maw had the secret and man could she cook that Mexican food. Were you ever able to eat any of hers when you lived in the old hood?
Hope yours turn out good. |

Iposted on fb about how much trouble they were to get right and that i didn't know how mama garcia made it look so easy. You were a little young back then but she would get up at 3 am and feed thumper bull and me tamales and eggs after we would get in from a rack attack.
