@@MargaretsKitchenNMThis is true. And even moreso without Jesus we cannot have Father God. I love Jesus so dearly and give worship to King Jesus every day for what He has done for us and for who He is. King. Lord. Savior. The express image of Father God Himself. I love Him!
@@MargaretsKitchenNM AMEN! Thank you for showing us how to do the masa & how to spread it on the hoja . Could you do a video on how to make the carne for the tamales 🫔??
Thank you for this tutorial. I've watched so many videos on how to make masa for tamales, and they make it so complicated. You made it simple and easy. That's understandable as well. Thank you again. And Jesus is king.
I use 1 lb of lard or shortening for 5 lbs of masa to be prepared. This is my mom's way and the tamales come out very tasty and soft never dry. The husks smooth side is where I place the masa it helps to seal in and for steaming to use the smooth side plus the tamale will stick on the other rougher side. Great video!
I love the conversation and memories that making Tamales brings. Very sweet lady. (Ps- I love the old school measuring technique). It's obvious she loves cooking. ❤😊
Absolutely love this video and the instructor! Praise the Lord for technology to preserve these traditions that are passed around the kitchen table around homes around the world. My grandma and mom have passed, but that’s how I learned. I will refer to this video for help!🫶🏽🥰
This is the best recipe yet. I've tried others 😢. However I did you handful of this and handful of that, did your cups of broth just like you. Perfect, my family loves them!!! Thank you for your time showing step by step. This is my favorite tamale recipe ❤❤❤❤
I loved this! Thank you 🙏 for letting us into your kitchen & teaching us like we’re your own family! Definitely going to try this technique for Christmas tamales ❤
I loved watching this!! I love the way you measure your ingredients ♥️ Reminds me of my mama. She made the BEST tamales! 🥰 I know your tamales must be delicious! Thank you for sharing!!
I will definitely try this, not that different from my own Mom's way, she measures just like me, That's ones knowledge & love for cooking. And she's right "We're nothing without Jesus" God bless her 😊🙏🏼
I love the look of your masa, moist, just the way we like them too. Also the way you fold them, so simple…brilliant!! Never thought of folding the “tail” in like that. Thanks for the demonstration/idea, this has changed my tamale folding game. 😅🙏🏽💗
This was truly old school and homemade, my mama would would put Chile powder for color in the masa ,they were delicious and her buenelos were awesome, thank you for sharing
I throw me some about 6 medium California red chili's in a pot of water boil until soft, blend through sift wire-mesh, and add some to inside once i spread the masa then add pork,beef or chicken😋😋😋
Thanks for sharing your rescipe for the masa my mom is gone an I didn't pay attention to how she made her masa so I'm glad u shared your give me a basic idea again Thanks
I love this lady! I hope she does the whole tamale. My husband and I moved to Florida (to be closer to my mother) from LA. They don't have prepared masa here in our little town, so it'll be my first time alone. His birthday is Christmas, so this is 1 of his gifts. Although he is Peruvian, he LOVE Mexican tamales. I do, too, if I'm honest. 😂 Thank you for NOT using measuring cups ... my Nana always used her hands to measure. ❤
I really can relate to you the story of your grandmother. The coffee cup measuring, My grandmother was exactly the same way. I love hearing your stories. Thanks for showing us how to make the perfect Masa. Have a blessed Christmas.❤🎄🎁✝️
Lots of times the best results are from hand kneading. One step at a time. All of the ingredients blend perfectly and the finished product is almost always delicious.
Your video was very helpful. I had a question about the lard and you answered it. Thank you. The way you switched between Spanish and English is so New Mexico 😂
She mixes her masa like I do. I find myself zoning out when I'm adding the broth and mixing it's so therapeutic but it's a lot of work on your arms and hands! When you use your hands you get a feel for when the harina is dry or when everything is nice and wet. I have a habit of tasting the raw masa because I'm a sick individual LOL but you can microwave a small amount and taste it. This way you can make sure it has enough salt and whatever flavor you're looking for before you make 100 tamales out of the masa!
Hey Margaret, This is my first time to visit you, and I'm so Happy I did. I just wanted to let you know I don't use a Kitchen aid but I do use my Kitchen aid hand mixer. I make 5 pounds of Masa at a time just to be sure I can get everything mixed well. I will mix it for about 7 minutes and the masa get so nice and fluffy and soft, and when you cook them they are soooooooo good. Not heavy, soft great tasting Tamales too. I wouldn't make them any other way now that I know this trick of my hand mixer....
I’m sorry, what we were talking about is that some people place the masa on the rough side, because they were never told different. Whatever works for each cook.
I liked this video thank you so much. I was a little hesitant because I've never made it before. But now that I've watched your video. It seems like I can handle this. Thank you
Hello Margaret! have a question please, I grew up with my Mom and Grandma using the fresh masa would it be the same amounts, masa, baking soda and salt, with that?? Thank you and Loved your video definitely reminds me of watching and helping my Mom who is not with us anymore. Last Christmas was the first year I attempted to make without her and she’s been gone 13yrs. 😞♥️
I love your personality. Great video. Very simple and easy to follow. The stories you shared reminded me of my upbringing in a very hispanic traditional home.
@@MargaretsKitchenNMisn't there something that is sold, either refrigerated, or perhaps frozen, that is already like dough? I can't remember where I saw it, maybe even Walmart. But I've never bought or used any.
I love watching this. I love the stories that were told. I need your help! My daughter gave me tamales that she bought from someone. They are so pland. There are no spices in them. Can I take them apart and add some spices to them and put them back together? If so, how do I go about doing it? I appreciate your help, thank you 😊
Thank you very much for this recipe. Margaret by doing this video, you made people remember special family moments and stories that need to be shared within the families. Our parents created memories for us. Now, it’s our turn to create memories for our family. Again, thank you.
Thank you for the information, but it would be very helpful if the list of ingredients were in the description box below, it makes it easier to shop for the ingredients. Thank you.
Hi. My family makes our tamales like the pueblos. We use the same ingredients you do but we don't use baking powder. We also tie our tamales at both ends. Thanks for inviting me into your kitchen. God bless you and Merry Christmas......
Thank you Margaret. That's my sister's name too!. Your way I am going to try. Just curious since you did not add spices to the masa, what spices did you use to make the meat? Do you have a video where you make the carne?
Isn’t funny how all of us Hispanics do the same exact things when making tamales? I measure my ingredients the same exact way.😂😂 I use a tortilla maker to spread the husks. 😊
JillHand-l1y.....not "exact"....I was taught to spread the masa ON THE 'SMOOTH' SIDE OF THE HUSKS!!!!!! Otherwise, the masa can STICK in the "ridges" of the rough side of husks when steamed....🫔🫔🫔😉👍🏻
🙂 i love the pleasant surprise at the end when she added to follow Jesus and that without Him we are nothing. ❤
Thank you, we are no one without our Lord and Savior

@MargaretsKitchenNM Amen! God is so loving and merciful. Also I love your measuring cups I use the same ones😂
Use a hand mixer. It's faster
@@MargaretsKitchenNM AMEN! Thank you for showing us how to do the masa & how to spread it on the hoja .
Could you do a video on how to make the carne for the tamales 🫔??

Tamale-Newbie here! I still don’t understand what side to spread the masa on the husk - smooth side or rough side? Thanks!💕
Smooth side with the dough
Oh Gosh! My mouth was just watering all the way through the video! I love Tamales!! ❤️

Love the video. Thanks I will try and make my own masa.
You are very welcome, I hope you enjoy making your own masa!
Wow this looks so much easier than spreading with a spoon.❤
Thanks for teaching me how to make corn tamales Love you 👍👍😊👌👏🙏
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Such a nice lady.
Your video was very helpful. I had a question about the lard and you answered it. Thank you. The way you switched between Spanish and English is so New Mexico 😂
You are very correct, by doing this is like when you cream the butter and sugar for cake batter. It makes sense to me
Absolutely

Thank you for this video! I struggle spreading the masa every time. I’m going to try your tip!
Glad that I could help
They sell spreaders probably everywhere.... Very easy to use
Thank you for sharing. ❤
Awesome tips! I feel confident after watching this I’ll be fine 😂

Do you put spices in your masa
i loved your video. God bless you.
Thank you! You too!
I love her ❤
Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing! Would you recommend using lard over shortening?
Lard is best, but shorting will do.
@@MargaretsKitchenNM Thanks!!!
Did i just hear her say the rough side goes on the inside??? That’s a new one on me for sure!!!
I’m sorry, what we were talking about is that some people place the masa on the rough side, because they were never told different. Whatever works for each cook.
I liked this video thank you so much. I was a little hesitant because I've never made it before. But now that I've watched your video. It seems like I can handle this. Thank you

what do you add to store bought prepared masa to make it taste right
Lard, salt & baking powder with the broth of the meat
@@MargaretsKitchenNMisn't there something that is sold, either refrigerated, or perhaps frozen, that is already like dough? I can't remember where I saw it, maybe even Walmart. But I've never bought or used any.
I use the lard from the Mexican store in the containers. Is that ok or is Cisco better?
It is perfect
Do u mean Crisco? Use the lard.. Crisco is not good at all, it's another bad fat.
Love it!!!
Thank you. www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
Thank you so much for doing by hand! I have no kitchenaid. Thanks!!!!❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
thank you so much for this video....making them this week. Do you ever put red pepper flakes in the masa?
Welcome to my kitchen. You are very welcome. No I have never used Chile flakes. www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
This was awesome!! You cook like my mom. She did measure for baking or candy or such, but never for something like this.
I agree when you play with it it’s the best thing to do.
A mixer works very well..
Is it two cups of lard for 5 lbs of powder Masa mix
1 pound of lard
Mrs... If I don't have Manteca .... Can I use oil ? Please let me know thank you for showing! I am learning!
Absolutely, you can also use crisco
This randomly appeared on my page, I think you guys are from Texas, you sound like my family accent and they say asina too 😂
New Mexico
@@MargaretsKitchenNM Close enough 🥰 thanks 4 reply
I love Chicken tamales!!! YUM!!!
I love watching this. I love the stories that were told. I need your help! My daughter gave me tamales that she bought from someone. They are so pland. There are no spices in them. Can I take them apart and add some spices to them and put them back together? If so, how do I go about doing it?
I appreciate your help, thank you 😊
I personally have never done that, except to add salt before eating it.
Just add a spicy salsa on top. My husband likes to warm them up and serve with an over easy egg on top for breakfast.
Thank you very much for this recipe. Margaret by doing this video, you made people remember special family moments and stories that need to be shared within the families. Our parents created memories for us. Now, it’s our turn to create memories for our family. Again, thank you.

Do y add salt?
Yes I do, 3 tablespoons to every 5lb bag of tamale flour
Thanks for sharing
How much lard and baking powder do you use for a 2lb bag?
1-lb of lard, 2 tablespoons baking powder to 1 bag of tamale flour
Hi. My family makes our tamales like the pueblos. We use the same ingredients you do but we don't use baking powder. We also tie our tamales at both ends. Thanks for inviting me into your kitchen. God bless you and Merry Christmas......
So may variations to tamale making
There sure is but they all taste great. Keeping our traditions alive for generations to come. Merry Christmas.......
Thank you Margaret. That's my sister's name too!. Your way I am going to try. Just curious since you did not add spices to the masa, what spices did you use to make the meat? Do you have a video where you make the carne?
All of the spices are in my blended Chile, the masa is prepared with the broth of the meat, I only add salt to the meat
I would like to learn how to make the tamale dough.Thanks for the recipe. Sara
Thank you 😊
You’re very welcome
Im a new viewer. Wonderful video.
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Can I use oil?
If that is all you have of course
How do you make tortillas with masa that’s not the instant kind?
I have seen several video examples of masa making but they used electric mixers...By hand has more appeal and looks fantastic.. the love shows.
Do u have to use lard
You can you Crisco, but the lard is best
Can you share the measurements like how much baking powder for a 4 lb bag of masa harina and how much lard
How much baking powder how many tablespoons?
3 tablespoons BP and the same amount of salt too a 5lb bag of maseca
Thank you so much for answering me so soon ❤️
Reminds me of how my grandma cooked. No measuring cups or spoons. She just eyed it and knew how to always make the best tamales and everything else.
Measure with your heart.
How much salt and baking powder did you use?
For every 5 pound bag is 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of baking powder
Thank you
