...its done cooking? im attempting this christmas to take over my moms role in the tamale making duty. my only dislike of the way my mom makes them is that the dough or Masa. once steamed and ready for eating the masa sometimes turns out to be too dry and a bit too stiff. would like to know how i can improve on the Masa aspect of making tamales. and if you would be so kind in giving me the actual measurements of how much lard per pound is used when preparing the Masa. how many hours for how many tamales would be nice too thanks in advance and hope i can come through on xmas
