However, I copied and pasted the reciped right here just for you.<br /><br />Instant Corn Flour Masa Recipe for Tamales<br /><br />If you are making savory tamales, skip flavorless white lard, and head straight to your neighborhood Mexican delicatessen and ask for their “manteca de carnitas”—that great tasting pork carnitas flavored lard. Bacon grease tastes great, too.<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />6 cups masa harina flour for tamales (Maseca brand)<br /><br />up to ½ cup chile Red Chile Sauce for savory tamales (click here). Optional.<br /><br />2 cups lard<br /><br />Up to 1 ½ tablespoons salt.<br /><br />2 teaspoons baking powder<br /><br />warm chicken, pork or beef broth or water—just follow the guidelines. Let your sense of touch and sight tell you how much is enough.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Using an electric mixer, beat the lard until it is fluffy and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, use your hands to fold together the lard and the masa harina until well blended. Add 2 teaspoons baking powder, the Red Chiles Sauce and gradually add the broth or water at about ½ cup at a time until the masa has the consistency of thick butter cream frosting. Taste the masa, and add up to 1 ½ tablespoons of salt or to taste. Transfer to a heavy duty mixer and blend at high speed until the masa is light and airy. Or, use a pair of strong macho hands to do this chore for you. When it does reach that stage, STOP.Clementinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298877166086971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-17479450324012269372012-04-05T05:40:31.452-07:002012-04-05T05:40:31.452-07:00Hi, and thanks for posting this recipe.

Everything in the tamal must be fresh or you are in a bad experience and a terrible waste of time. <br /><br />Take Care!Clementinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298877166086971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-6771372633991630732010-03-29T09:29:42.248-07:002010-03-29T09:29:42.248-07:00wonderful!

Something to remind people of- we made a whole batch of tamales once and didn't realize that the lard had turned until we were all done, so make sure that your ingredients are all good and fresh before your long arduous undertaking. You wouldn't want to go through all that work only to throw them out later. Do you have a favorite tomatillo? I'm starting seeds now, purple and green ones, the purple are just too pretty.Lorenahttp://mymex-amenianlife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-78897232984608702542010-03-20T21:28:32.996-07:002010-03-20T21:28:32.996-07:00Hola, Ms. King!

My tia lives in Guadalajara. I plan on visiting her sometime this year, and visiting Lake Chapala is on the top of my list.<br />Perhaps I should blog more often than once a month. Like many others, I get so busy with daily activites, that before I know it, a month has almost gone by. Then I better start cooking and writing something that I hope will not only be entertaining, but informative. I prefer to think of each post as a monthly letter to friends.Clementinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298877166086971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475512217806716613.post-10719019356771735142010-03-20T15:20:21.672-07:002010-03-20T15:20:21.672-07:00Actually a bit of Pedro Fernandez couldn't hur...Actually a bit of Pedro Fernandez couldn't hurt for tamale mood music.
