TAMAL DOUGH MADE WITH MASA HARINA



Tamal Dough made with Masa Harina image

This easy tamal dough recipe makes about one dozen tamales but you can double, triple, or quadruple it, as needed. The recipe can easily be made by hand in a bowl, but whipping the lard in a stand mixer makes for fluffier and lighter tamales.

Provided by Yvette Marquez

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cups lard ( or shortening)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups masa harina (corn flour - see notes )
1 ½ to 2 cups warm homemade chicken stock ( or store-bought low-sodium broth)
2 to 3 tablespoons chile sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine lard, salt, and baking powder using an electric mixer, beat at medium-high speed until well whipped, about 1 minute.
  • Add one-fourth of the masa at a time to the lard, beating between additions until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Slowly add chicken stock and continue beating until dough is light and has a soft and spreadable hummus-like texture. If it's too dry, mix in a little more broth; if your dough is too loose, add more masa harina until you get the desired texture. Add chile sauce (if using) and stir to combine.
  • Test the masa by taking a small piece (1/2 teaspoon) and dropping it into a cup of warm water. If it floats it is ready; if it sinks, add a little more lard, beat for another minute and test it again. Repeat this process until the masa floats.
  • Cover the masa and set aside and make tamales with your filling of choice.

FRESH MASA FOR TAMALES



Fresh Masa for Tamales image

Fluffy Masa for Tamales is so easy to make! You will wonder why you didn't try it sooner! This recipe makes a lot of tamales (about 80) so, feel free to cut the recipe in half.

Provided by Sandy

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1½ pounds lard, second choice: vegetable shortening
5 pounds fresh ground masa (masa sin preparar para tamales, NOT masa harina
1 cup broth or cooking liquid from your meat mixture, or low sodium beef, pork, chicken or vegetable broth
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Note: If you are using a hand mixer, divide the ingredients in half and mix in 2 batches. This amount of masa and lard will burn out a hand mixer.
  • Beat lard with a stand mixer (or a hand mixer and two large bowls) to the consistency of whipped cream (takes about 15 minutes on highest setting).
  • Add 1/3 of masa a little at a time in small, golfball sized pieces.
  • Sprinkle baking powder and salt over the lard mixture. Beat until well combined.
  • Add remaining masa a little at a time in small, golfball sized pieces.
  • With the mixer on slow speed, add the beef broth into whipped lard and masa mixture while the mixer is going.
  • Turn the mixer to high and continue whipping the mixture until a small spoonful of masa floats in cold water.

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream lard and butter together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a hand mixer or whisk.) 2. In a separate bowl, mix masa harina, baking powder, and kosher salt together until well combined. Add dry ingredients to the whipped lard and mix until a shaggy dough forms. 3. Add broth one cup at a time, mixing after every addition, until a light, spongy dough forms. (You may not need to use all of the broth.) Test the masa by pressing a little into the palm of your hand. If it holds its shape and doesn’t crack, and is able to be easily removed from your palm without sticking, the dough is ready. If not, add more liquid and continue to mix.
  • 1. In a large bowl or stockpot, soak corn husks in warm water and cover. (If the corn husks rise to the surface, cover with a clean plate or other weight.) Soak until softened, about 30 minutes and up to overnight, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. 2. Line a large strainer or steamer basket with corn husks (this is a good use for any extra-large or extra-small husks) and place a ball of foil in the center. Place tamales against the ball, open side up, leaning them against each other. 3. Set a softened corn husk on a flat surface smooth side up, with the wide end facing you and the tapered end pointing away from you. Starting from the wide end of the husk, spread 2 tablespoons masa with your fingers or an offset spatula from edge to edge and about ⅔ of the way up the husk. You should have a rectangle about a ¼ inch thick. Repeat with remaining husks. 4. Add 2 tablespoons of chilled filling to the center of the masa-covered husk. Fold one side of the husk over the fillin

  • Place 1 pound of lard in a large stand mixer and mix until fluffy, scraping sides so the lard stays in the center of the mixing bowl. (The flat beater is the ideal accessory for mixing.)
  • Soak corn husks in water for an hour before using, rinse well with running water to take off any dust or corn husk fibers. To keep corn husks pliable and easy to work with, keep in water while filling tamales. Place a handful of wet corn husks in a colander to drain before using.
  • Place the wide end of the husk on the palm of your hand, narrow end is at the top. Starting at the middle of the husk spread 2 tablespoons of the masa with the back of a spoon in a rectangle or oval shape, using a downward motion towards the wide-bottom edge. Do not spread the masa to the ends; leave about a 2-inch border on the left and right sides of the husk.
  • Spoon 1½ tablespoons of your chosen filling down the center of the masa. Fold both sides to the center; finish off by bringing the pointed end of the husk toward the filled end. Make sure it’s a snug closure so the tamal will not open during steaming. Secure by tying a thin strip of corn husk around the tamal. This will keep the tamal from unwrapping during the steaming process, especially if the husk is too thick and will not stay folded.

  • The tamales are easiest when you make ahead the rice and pork. You can also make the rice while the tamale masa is cooking for the first round, but I prefer just to make the pork and rice the day before.
  • Start with your very large stockpot. Add your entire packet of Maseca or similar tamal base to the pot. Next, add 2 cups of cold water and begin to mix this with your hands. The cold water will help so that the Maseca doesn't form little balls when you add the other ingredients.
  • Add 2-4 cups of pork broth, chilled to room temperature, to the masa mixture. Stir until well mixed. (If you don't have pork broth, chicken or beef from a box will do).
  • Next add margarine, shortening, or pork fat and your packet of chicken bouillon (consome de pollo). Keep mixing everything until you have a base masa that is the consistency of watery cream of wheat.
