Fresh Tamale Masa Recipe
1/3 pound lard
1 pound fresh ground masa
Water or chicken broth, if needed
1 tablespoon salt
Beat lard with an electric mixer to aerate (approximately 2 minutes)!. Beat in small amounts of
masa until all is incorporated into lard!. Add a small amount of water or broth if needed!.
(This is a personal judgment call!.) When masa is desired consistency, beat in salt!.
Test the masa for doneness by dropping a small amount in a glass of water!. If the masa
floats, the masa is done!. Do not over beat or the masa will become dry and hard!.
Refrigerate, covered, if not using immediately!.
Fresh ground masa can be found in Mexican specialty stores or in your neighborhood grocery
during the months of November-January!. If you can't find fresh ground masa, try the Masa HarinaWww@FoodAQ@Com
