    Stephanie these look FANTASTIC, OH YUM. THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON. WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS ALIVE I WOULD MAKE THESE ONCE IN A WHILE. I HAD A RECIPE THAT I WOULD FOLLOW BUT LOST MY RECIPE. NOW I HAVE YOUR RECIPE AND I CANT WAIT TO TRY THEM AGAIN. THANK YOU SWEET GIRL.

    Now it's a whole bunch of love right there🥰. Nothing says love for family more than making dozens of tamales to share with family members. Just like when I would make my tea cakes I had to have a dozen for so many people. It was exhausting but well worth it to see so many happy faces🤗. And I must say that was the perfect masa to meet filling ratio. Nothing worse than getting a tamale and it's nothing but masa and a teeny bit of filling🤷

    My grandma from Mexico told me a trick she would clean and sterilize two pennies and she would place them at the bottom of the steamer. If she heard the pennies rattle then the water was good if not she would pour a bit of water in. She also would place a glass up in the center of the pot that gave a place to pour water if she needed to. Also she would do a masa float test. In a small glass cup she put pour water and drop a little ball of masa. If it float on the top masa was good if not then it need more time kneading the masa. Love making tamales I use a plastic putty knife.

    Norma here
    What a lot of steps and hard work, but from everyone’s reactions, well worth the time and effort. Believe it or not, I’m 71 and never tasted a tamale. I know I won’t attempt to make them, but I’ll make sure to find some somewhere.
    I love when recipes and techniques are handed down and taught to the younger ones. You watched and listened well to your grandma and aunts.
    I had a wonderful aunt named Olga. We always teased her for being a second generation Italian born on St Patrick’s Day and having a Russian name. lol
    Awesome job, Stephanie and so sweet of you to share with the family.

      I used to do the Hormel canned tamales with a can of wolf brand chili on top of them with cheese and put it in the oven and let it bake. Yummy😋 That was in the early college days before I knew what real tamales were....

    ‼️🖐️Hi Stephanie and Buddy thank you for sharing your recipe with us all, It reminds me of our mom doing the tamales too they are delicious heavenly good and I just love the way you put the lard and the flavoring in the masa because that's like the touch to a very tasty tamal, That's what my mom always did. Take good care and warm regards to the rest of the family😊‼️

  • @elisariojas2964
    @elisariojas2964 12 днів тому

    Looks great. I use the broth from my cooked meat in my masa for the flavor. I always put the red chile in my masa, too. We make at least 3 times more than you did at one time, so when masa is done, We cover with a wet dish towel. There are usually 3-5 of us at day of tamale making. We use to use steamer pots, now we have an assembly line of 5 full-size roasters to cook them. Great tutorial, Stephanie.

    Tamales are my favorite. I’ve made them one time years and years ago with my mother-in-law and they were a lot of work and I’ve never made them again. I buy them now. My friend Irene makes them and I get them from her so good.❤

Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a recipe I can tackle as I live alone and don’t have anyone to share them with. I did enjoy your process and I can only assume your family was thankful for you sharing your labor of love. And boy, was that some labor! ❤

    Lol, when I met my now ex, his whole family are from Cali and yes Hispanic. Well his grandma Cuca was the one that normally did all the tamales. So his sister that moved out to Tennessee with us, decided one Christmas that we were gonna make them. I had to work so missed on a few steps but got home just in time to help put them together. Oh and my gosh, it looked like she had a fight with the masa all over the kitchen 😂 that stuff was every where!! And Grandma on speaker phone lol. I kept hearing ahhh Mija, no no you do ----- first lol.. we had fun and she made some good sweet ones as well with cinnamon and raisins. I'm really glad i did learn a lot of Mexican cooking from both of them, they've both went to be with Jesus now so I now pass things to my daughters and nieces. Y'all take care, God Bless
