Yummy

My mom always used lard. She’s Cherokee Indian and French. She also ground up her corn for the masa. I’m glad I get to open a bag. Nice easy recipe . TY. I love spicy chicken tamales but also spicy Pork tamales. I use a cement hand or grout spreader for the masa on the husk. They sale these masa spreaders on Amazon. It’s extremely easier and quicker. Do you tell us how long in the insta pot and what settings.

For the 6 & 8 qt instant pots add 1-1/2 cups of liquid and steam the tamales for 20-30 mins after the time let them rest. For the 10 Qt instant pot use 2 to 2-1/2 cups of liquid and same time to steam them 😉👍🏼

What is the difference between Maseca and the Tamal instant mix?

Can you freeze the masa? How long does it last in the refrigerator before using?

Do you just mix to combine? How long to did you the masa? Didn't seem like it mixed for very long. Did you do the float test for masa in a glass of water or is it not needed?

Hello Stephanie, it takes less than 5 mins to mix all the ingredients together! This is the reason why I love making tamales now :) you don't need to do the water test you just mix and spread. The masa tastes really good and you can make less tamales by reducing the amounts of ingredients. Or triple to make lots more

@@stephaniealvarez2195 you are very welcome ;) when I have extra chicken I prepare some green sauce add the chicken and make some tamales. Is so easy and if you have an instant pot is a lot faster. Enjoy

What do you do if your masa doesn't float to the top of the water glass do I add more liquid or lard.help

Juanita, I am glad you asked this question. Well I use to hate making tamales and that was the reason why! I didn’t like to deal with making the masa. I tough it was a lot of work 😅I learned how to make it this way and I love making then now. You don’t have to worry about that step. Here is my very first video if you want to take a look at it. 😉👍🏼kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2l-p8uPmcibps4.html

@@cookingwithconchita9657 thank you! Didn’t know if it was the same with cakes recipes. Where you halve certain ingredients but some you can’t change.

Can I make dough like one day ahead and wrap in plastic and store in the fridge and then roll the dough on husk later. Please text me. Will they steam or will I have a hard time to press in a tortilla presser or whatever. 😮😮 .

How much liquid to the 4 cups of masa?

Жыл бұрын

I used between 4-5 cups of broth. Just keep checking the consistency. You don’t want the masa to be loose because you are going to need to add more maseca 😉👍🏼
