i want to know how, or how to get really close but also easier.

Literally not worth the trouble of making.
Just go to your nearest construction site, and there will be a Mexican with a foil-lined cooler filled with fresh hot tamales that his wife makes every morning for him to sell at the site for practically nothing.
You aren’t going to make better tamales than a Mexican housewife.

Wat do with the husk wrappers? How to eat them?
Please no bully,
t. tamale potato

>>16929376
they go in the trash.
it's corn husk. it's inedible.
a tamale is basically cornmeal dough with meat inside. you wrap it in the corn husk for cooking.
corn husks are cheap and usually waste.
other countries use other things, like banana leaves, or whatever.

I want to do it because my great-grandmother used to make them and she's no longer with us. The rest of my family doesn't cook and couldn't care less so fuck em

mexican tamales are terrible, they look and feel like diarrhea on a diaper, the only good tamales are the ones in banana leaves, also the most popular in the whole continent, sadly gringos only know tamales made in mexico which are the lowest type of tamal.

Then definitely forget my jobsite suggestion. That is a noble pursuit; you are a good grandson and it sounds like the rest of your family didn’t deserve her if they didn’t even bother to learn her recipes.

What’s funny is that I guarantee Mexicans would say the same thing about your tamales.

>>16929347
I buy a big bag of frozen ones from Pendery's, it a lot less of a hassle then getting banana leaves, making masa, then wrapping them, plus throw the bag in a freezer for later, and no cleanup. A simple CBA on that even with shipping is much more cost effective for me plus I get the reusable cold packs, I also keep those in a freezer for whenever they might come in handy.

tamales are the original fucking hot pockets where talking before Christ shit.
>>16929541
they use banana leaves too nigger.

>>16929572
Pendery's is from Texas so its highly likely that Mexicans are making the tamales.

>>16929541
We use banana leaves as well

I like to imagine an ironic situation where the tamale factory is the only place staffed by non-Mexicans. Even if it's still hispanic folks, like they import Panamanians for tamale duty.

>>16929732
>tamale duty
That made me crack up laughing.
Just look at the lack of border control from biden / camela, I guess it could be anyone from south of the US border.

>>16929347
Make meat filling.
Make masa filling
Moisten corn husks to make them pliable
Fill wet husks with masa, then meat
Fold up
Steam

>>16929368
This.

You can make them but it's a hassle to do by yourself.

>>16929541
A fucking serrote wrote this trash.

>>16929538
Basically this is the recipe for corn husk tamales. They forgot to mention that you have to use hot lard from pig. They also did not mention the recipe for the hot sauce. Pretty impresive. I would avoid the peanutbutter but wno knows

dont you have internet access, you fucking idiot? why the fuck dont you search the fucking recipe on fucking youtube? are you a retard? WHAT THE FUCK

>>16929389
> banana leaves, or whatever
dont listen to this uncultured piece of crap, corn husks, altought inedible put some taste in the tamale, if you use babana leaves the taste will change, you gotta be a fucking pig no not catch the difference, corn husks will have a softer taste, banana leaves are for more spicy tamales. And not, you dont eat them, you use them to wrap the doughm thats it, dont be a retard
