  • My husband and I went to see our dear friends the Sampsons she was asking me about the preparation for tamales I asked her if she had all of the ingredients and she said yes so I told well let me teach you, so I rolled up my sleeves and she watched and video taped me, we had a BLAST. This was very much IMPROMPTU...... www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com please remember to subscribe to my channel and give me a thumbs up

      ​​@@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!

    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!

    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....

      No, the rough side goes out. You spread masa on the smooth side. If you can’t tell just scratch with your nail and you can feel the rough side. Because if you spread your MASA on the rough side, your tamales will stick.

      I used my stock pot (usually, I use my pressure cooker with my knee injury. I used my stock pot. It is not as heavy). 1/4 filled with hot water, added the tamales (I stood them up for the first time). Brought the pot to a rapid boil, covered pot, lower heat to low and cooked for 2 hours, and let rest for 1 hour before eating.

      To test them take one out after the recommended cooking time, let it rest for a couple of minutes and peel back the hoja. If any of the masa sticks to it, it's not done yet, out it back and cook a little longer.
      Also, make sure you're putting the masa on the 'right' side of the hoja. The smoother side. If you run your nail across the hoja, the smoother side is where you'll spread your masa.
