  •

  •

  •  
  • 2 Cups - Water
  •  
  • 1 ½ tsp - Salt
  •  
  • subheading: TAMALE DOUGH:
  • 2 cups - Masa Harina
  •  
  • 1 (10.5) oz - beef broth
  •  
  • 1 tsp - baking powder
  •  
  • ½ tsp - Salt
  •  
  • ⅔ cup - Lard

  • 1 (8 oz) package - Dried Corn Husks

Steps
  1. Place pork into a Dutch oven with onion and garlic, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the meat is cooked through, about 2 hours.
  2. Soak the corn husks in a bowl of warm water. In a large bowl, beat the lard with a tablespoon of the broth until fluffy. Combine the masa harina, baking powder and salt; stir into the lard mixture, adding more broth as necessary to form a spongy dough.
  3. Spread the dough out over the corn husks to ¼ to ½ inch thickness. Place one tablespoon of the meat filling into the center. Fold the sides of the husks in toward the center and place in a steamer. Steam for 1 hour.
  4. Remove tamales from husks. Top with sour cream. For a creamy sauce, mix sour cream into the chile sauce.
