  Whipping the lard is the trick. Im a 51 year old white boy. An old Hispanic woman taught me this trick and it elevated my tamales beyond belief.

  There are a lot of tamale and masa recipes … but I like yours. You are so smooth and patient with your directions and explanations. My masa did not float. I added more broth and more masa, neither made any change so I went ahead and made tamales anyway ~ and they were wonderful!  Honestly! Some here complain too much lard? I disagree! The ratio you listed is good. The one difference I made them with some BBQ pull-pork

  Ok. I made this awesome braised beef to stuff in the tomales this year and  my mexican wife and mother in law kept telling me I was using way to much meat in the tomales. I told them to leave me alone and was using just a little less than yours. Gonna send them this video!!!!

  Hi Marcy. I just want to say that I absolutely love your explanation of making the masa. This is always the hardest part for me and other videos are not clear on how much liquid to put into the masa. I’m so thankful I came across your video. I just got back from the store and I can’t wait to make this masa recipe. I’m not anxious at all. Thank you so so much. ♥️♥️♥️

  We’re making tamales right now in Pecos, New Mexico. Was looking for tips and stumbled upon your video. It’s excellent. Just the way we make them. Well done. Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo. 🙏🏼🎄🎉

  I have made tamales for years, and I usually don&apos;t put baking powder in my masa but after watching this video my next batch I am going to do this recipe. I just got a KitchenAid stand mixer and want to use it. I whipped the lard but never for as long as 15 minutes! But since it won&apos;t be me doing it but my new mixer I will try it like this video says. The tamales look delicious!
