@@MargaretsKitchenNMThis is true. And even moreso without Jesus we cannot have Father God. I love Jesus so dearly and give worship to King Jesus every day for what He has done for us and for who He is. King. Lord. Savior. The express image of Father God Himself. I love Him!
@@MargaretsKitchenNM AMEN! Thank you for showing us how to do the masa & how to spread it on the hoja . Could you do a video on how to make the carne for the tamales 🫔??
I use 1 lb of lard or shortening for 5 lbs of masa to be prepared. This is my mom's way and the tamales come out very tasty and soft never dry. The husks smooth side is where I place the masa it helps to seal in and for steaming to use the smooth side plus the tamale will stick on the other rougher side. Great video!
I love the conversation and memories that making Tamales brings. Very sweet lady. (Ps- I love the old school measuring technique). It's obvious she loves cooking. ❤😊
This is the best recipe yet. I've tried others 😢. However I did you handful of this and handful of that, did your cups of broth just like you. Perfect, my family loves them!!! Thank you for your time showing step by step. This is my favorite tamale recipe ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the information, but it would be very helpful if the list of ingredients were in the description box below, it makes it easier to shop for the ingredients. Thank you.
I loved watching this!! I love the way you measure your ingredients ♥️ Reminds me of my mama. She made the BEST tamales! 🥰 I know your tamales must be delicious! Thank you for sharing!!
I will definitely try this, not that different from my own Mom's way, she measures just like me, That's ones knowledge & love for cooking. And she's right "We're nothing without Jesus" God bless her 😊🙏🏼
Absolutely love this video and the instructor! Praise the Lord for technology to preserve these traditions that are passed around the kitchen table around homes around the world. My grandma and mom have passed, but that’s how I learned. I will refer to this video for help!🫶🏽🥰
Lots of times the best results are from hand kneading. One step at a time. All of the ingredients blend perfectly and the finished product is almost always delicious.
I loved this! Thank you 🙏 for letting us into your kitchen & teaching us like we’re your own family! Definitely going to try this technique for Christmas tamales ❤
This was truly old school and homemade, my mama would would put Chile powder for color in the masa ,they were delicious and her buenelos were awesome, thank you for sharing
Isn’t funny how all of us Hispanics do the same exact things when making tamales? I measure my ingredients the same exact way.😂😂 I use a tortilla maker to spread the husks. 😊
Thanks for sharing your rescipe for the masa my mom is gone an I didn't pay attention to how she made her masa so I'm glad u shared your give me a basic idea again Thanks
Hey Margaret, This is my first time to visit you, and I'm so Happy I did. I just wanted to let you know I don't use a Kitchen aid but I do use my Kitchen aid hand mixer. I make 5 pounds of Masa at a time just to be sure I can get everything mixed well. I will mix it for about 7 minutes and the masa get so nice and fluffy and soft, and when you cook them they are soooooooo good. Not heavy, soft great tasting Tamales too. I wouldn't make them any other way now that I know this trick of my hand mixer....
I love the look of your masa, moist, just the way we like them too. Also the way you fold them, so simple…brilliant!! Never thought of folding the “tail” in like that. Thanks for the demonstration/idea, this has changed my tamale folding game. 😅🙏🏽💗
I really can relate to you the story of your grandmother. The coffee cup measuring, My grandmother was exactly the same way. I love hearing your stories. Thanks for showing us how to make the perfect Masa. Have a blessed Christmas.❤🎄🎁✝️
I love your personality. Great video. Very simple and easy to follow. The stories you shared reminded me of my upbringing in a very hispanic traditional home.
Your video was very helpful. I had a question about the lard and you answered it. Thank you. The way you switched between Spanish and English is so New Mexico 😂
Hello Margaret! have a question please, I grew up with my Mom and Grandma using the fresh masa would it be the same amounts, masa, baking soda and salt, with that?? Thank you and Loved your video definitely reminds me of watching and helping my Mom who is not with us anymore. Last Christmas was the first year I attempted to make without her and she’s been gone 13yrs. 😞♥️
Hi. My family makes our tamales like the pueblos. We use the same ingredients you do but we don't use baking powder. We also tie our tamales at both ends. Thanks for inviting me into your kitchen. God bless you and Merry Christmas......
I liked this video thank you so much. I was a little hesitant because I've never made it before. But now that I've watched your video. It seems like I can handle this. Thank you
Sister, you can also use the package of Maseca para tamales and it’s more coarse… melting the Manteca in a small saucepan can save you time also. Keep shining for Jesus.
I love watching this. I love the stories that were told. I need your help! My daughter gave me tamales that she bought from someone. They are so pland. There are no spices in them. Can I take them apart and add some spices to them and put them back together? If so, how do I go about doing it? I appreciate your help, thank you 😊
Thank you Margaret. That's my sister's name too!. Your way I am going to try. Just curious since you did not add spices to the masa, what spices did you use to make the meat? Do you have a video where you make the carne?
So happy to see u back. Missed u.what kind of broth are u using? I’m glad u are visiting friends an not sick. Thanks for sharing.are u going to make Christmas goodies?
Thank You for sharing the base of making tamales 🫔 now I don’t have to buy them or ask my Hispanic friends, instead I’ll be able to share mines. I will follow you and it’s ur book in English n Hispanic? God Bless You and ur UA-cam followers
No, the rough side goes out. You spread masa on the smooth side. If you can’t tell just scratch with your nail and you can feel the rough side. Because if you spread your MASA on the rough side, your tamales will stick.
Margaret so happy to see you. My son is coming home for New Years. He does not eat red chile but loves green. Do you have a posole recipe for posole with chicken and green chile? Thank you.
I did almost all just like you except for baking powder I put too much 😮 and now it’s been cooking forever!!! 2 hours is not even close 4 hours and counting 😢
🙂 i love the pleasant surprise at the end when she added to follow Jesus and that without Him we are nothing. ❤
Thank you, we are no one without our Lord and Savior
@@MargaretsKitchenNMThis is true. And even moreso without Jesus we cannot have Father God. I love Jesus so dearly and give worship to King Jesus every day for what He has done for us and for who He is. King. Lord. Savior. The express image of Father God Himself. I love Him!
@MargaretsKitchenNM Amen! God is so loving and merciful. Also I love your measuring cups I use the same ones😂
Use a hand mixer. It's faster
@@MargaretsKitchenNM AMEN! Thank you for showing us how to do the masa & how to spread it on the hoja .

Scoops out lard with her hand "that's about 2 cups", pours salt in her palm "that's about a tablespoon" 😂😂😂😂 LOVE HER!!! ❤
Awesome tips! I feel confident after watching this I’ll be fine 😂

What a beautiful kind spirit you have 😊 love from Oklahoma City. ❤
I love it, those were the good ol days. Thank you, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 😊
Your video was very helpful. I had a question about the lard and you answered it. Thank you. The way you switched between Spanish and English is so New Mexico 😂
Wow this looks so much easier than spreading with a spoon.❤
Hello Margaret! have a question please, I grew up with my Mom and Grandma using the fresh masa would it be the same amounts, masa, baking soda and salt, with that?? Thank you and Loved your video definitely reminds me of watching and helping my Mom who is not with us anymore.

Thanks! I enjoyed your video! Being of Mexican descent I love tamales. Do you have a recipe for the sweet ones. ❤️
You seem like Such a sweet lady. Your video made me very happy and hungry! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I have seen several video examples of masa making but they used electric mixers...By hand has more appeal and looks fantastic.. the love shows.
Oh Gosh! My mouth was just watering all the way through the video! I love Tamales!! ❤️
Me too!!
Such a nice lady.
Thank you for this video! I struggle spreading the masa every time. I’m going to try your tip!
Glad that I could help
They sell spreaders probably everywhere.... Very easy to use
Hi. My family makes our tamales like the pueblos. We use the same ingredients you do but we don't use baking powder. We also tie our tamales at both ends. Thanks for inviting me into your kitchen. God bless you and Merry Christmas......
So may variations to tamale making
There sure is but they all taste great. Keeping our traditions alive for generations to come. Merry Christmas.......
I would like to learn how to make the tamale dough.Thanks for the recipe. Sara
I liked this video thank you so much. I was a little hesitant because I've never made it before. But now that I've watched your video. It seems like I can handle this. Thank you
You’re very welcome, you will do great I’m sure. www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
This was awesome!! You cook like my mom. She did measure for baking or candy or such, but never for something like this.
Thank you he learned something of everyday 🌲🙏
Thank you so much for sharing! Would you recommend using lard over shortening?
Lard is best, but shorting will do.
@@MargaretsKitchenNM Thanks!!!
Thank you this is just what I needed.
I agree when you play with it it’s the best thing to do.
Sister, you can also use the package of Maseca para tamales and it’s more coarse… melting the Manteca in a small saucepan can save you time also. Keep shining for Jesus.
Thank you so much for doing by hand! I have no kitchenaid. Thanks!!!!❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
A mixer works very well..
i loved your video. God bless you.
Thank you! You too!
Reminds me of how my grandma cooked. No measuring cups or spoons. She just eyed it and knew how to always make the best tamales and everything else.
I love watching this. I love the stories that were told. I need your help! My daughter gave me tamales that she bought from someone. They are so pland. There are no spices in them. Can I take them apart and add some spices to them and put them back together? If so, how do I go about doing it?
I appreciate your help, thank you 😊
I personally have never done that, except to add salt before eating it.
Just add a spicy salsa on top. My husband likes to warm them up and serve with an over easy egg on top for breakfast.
Thank you Margaret. That's my sister's name too!. Your way I am going to try. Just curious since you did not add spices to the masa, what spices did you use to make the meat? Do you have a video where you make the carne?
All of the spices are in my blended Chile, the masa is prepared with the broth of the meat, I only add salt to the meat
Thank you for sharing. ❤
thank you so much for this video....making them this week. Do you ever put red pepper flakes in the masa?
Welcome to my kitchen. You are very welcome. No I have never used Chile flakes. www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
I have done, omg it's hard. I was sweating when I got done. Muscle girl.😅
Oh my gosh you two blessed me with this. My mom
and Tias have all passed away. Do you know how to make uchepos?
A "Batea" made of wood is nice to have to knead manteca & masa.
I just melt my lard and that seems the easiest way for me to, they always come out great. Just a thought.
Im a new viewer. Wonderful video.
So happy to see u back. Missed u.what kind of broth are u using? I’m glad u are visiting friends an not sick. Thanks for sharing.are u going to make Christmas goodies?
Hola my faithful follower.
Thank You for sharing the base of making tamales 🫔 now I don’t have to buy them or ask my Hispanic friends, instead I’ll be able to share mines. I will follow you and it’s ur book in English n Hispanic?
God Bless You and ur UA-cam followers
I love her ❤
Thank you
Mrs... If I don't have Manteca .... Can I use oil ? Please let me know thank you for showing! I am learning!
Absolutely, you can also use crisco
Love it!!!
Thank you. www.nmcookbookmariabaca.com
The rough side goes on the inside?! I’ve been doing the opposite my whole life! 😮
No, the rough side goes out. You spread masa on the smooth side. If you can’t tell just scratch with your nail and you can feel the rough side. Because if you spread your MASA on the rough side, your tamales will stick.
@@ruthrodriguez8614 that’s what I learned too! If my mom knew I was spreading the masa on the rough side, she might roll in her grave 😬
Can you share the measurements like how much baking powder for a 4 lb bag of masa harina and how much lard
It's Christmastime, be sure to ask Santa for a Kitchenaid mixer especially for large batches of masa! 😊
lol thank you for the suggestion, I actually have one, I truly enjoy using my hands.
I use the lard from the Mexican store in the containers. Is that ok or is Cisco better?
It is perfect
Do u mean Crisco? Use the lard.. Crisco is not good at all, it's another bad fat.
Thanks for sharing
I ❤ this video!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Curious how did they Came out? I am wanting to learn and been watching a lot of videos.. they all call for way more Manteca or lard
They came out delicious
what do you add to store bought prepared masa to make it taste right
Lard, salt & baking powder with the broth of the meat
Margaret so happy to see you. My son is coming home for New Years. He does not eat red chile but loves green. Do you have a posole recipe for posole with chicken and green chile? Thank you.
I certainly do I will do a video closer to New Years for you
Amen and amen ❤🙏
I love this recipe because of the texmex language 😊
😊
Good deal i'm gonna make some tamales
Measure with your heart.
How do you make tortillas with masa that’s not the instant kind?
How much baking powder how many tablespoons?
3 tablespoons BP and the same amount of salt too a 5lb bag of maseca
Thank you so much for answering me so soon ❤️
I’m watching you being careful not to make a mess and thinking “I wish she had a bigger bowl”.
Lol thank you
Great recipe & FOLLOW JESUS! ❤
Always!
Wish someone would give the measurements Please
How much lard and baking powder do you use for a 2lb bag?
1-lb of lard, 2 tablespoons baking powder to 1 bag of tamale flour
Thank you 😊
You’re very welcome
Do y add salt?
Yes I do, 3 tablespoons to every 5lb bag of tamale flour
I just melted and when warm a added to the masa
WAOOOO QUE GENTE TAN FANATICA😂
Is it two cups of lard for 5 lbs of powder Masa mix
1 pound of lard
I've never heard of baking soda in the masa gotta try it
It certainly makes a difference in your masa
Usually baking powder
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks!
Who couldn't love tamales...but I prefer my masa to have some color
I did almost all just like you except for baking powder I put too much 😮 and now it’s been cooking forever!!! 2 hours is not even close 4 hours and counting 😢
