Steps:
- Place the pork loin in a Dutch oven along with the onion and garlic. Add enough water to just cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 2 hours or until the pork is cooked. Meanwhile, remove the stems and seeds from the chile pods. Place the chiles in a pan with the 2 cups of water. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. When the chiles are cool, place them along with the cooking water in a blender and process until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Season with the salt and then set aside. Soak the corn husks in warm water as directed on package. While the husks are soaking, remove the pork from the cooking liquid and shred the cooked pork with two forks. Combine the shredded pork with one cup of the chile liquid. Add the lard to a large bowl and add one tablespoon of the beef broth. Beat until the lard is fluffy. Combine the masa harina, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add to the lard mixture, stirring to blend. Add more broth as needed to make a dough. Spread the dough over the corn husks, about 1/4 inch thick. Place a tablespoon of the pork in the center of each. Roll the husks over the pork and place in a steamer. Steam for one hour. To serve, remove the tamales from the husks. Combine the sour cream with as much of the remaining chile liquid as desired and drizzle the mixture over the tamales.
REAL HOMEMADE TAMALES
I had been looking for a Tamale recipe for years. One day I went to the international market and stood in the Mexican aisle till a woman with a full cart came by. I just asked her if she knew how to make Tamales. This is her recipe with a few additions from me. The pork can be substituted with either chicken or beef. This is great served with refried beans and a salad.

Steps:
- Place pork into a Dutch oven with onion and garlic, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the meat is cooked through, about 2 hours.
- Use rubber gloves to remove stems and seeds from the chile pods. Place chiles in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. Transfer the chiles and water to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture, stir in salt, and set aside. Shred the cooked meat and mix in one cup of the chile sauce.
- Soak the corn husks in a bowl of warm water. In a large bowl, beat the lard with a tablespoon of the broth until fluffy. Combine the masa harina, baking powder and salt; stir into the lard mixture, adding more broth as necessary to form a spongy dough.
- Spread the dough out over the corn husks to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Place one tablespoon of the meat filling into the center. Fold the sides of the husks in toward the center and place in a steamer. Steam for 1 hour.
- Remove tamales from husks and drizzle remaining chile sauce over. Top with sour cream. For a creamy sauce, mix sour cream into the chile sauce.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add beef, green chiles, hot sauce, salt, 3 cloves garlic, onion, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until beef is thoroughly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and reserve the drippings.
- Combine reserved drippings, masa, lard, and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Add up to 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until mixture is as thick as biscuit dough. Divide into 50 equal balls. Place dough balls between 2 cutting boards each lined with a sheet of waxed paper; flatten into circles.
- Place each dough circle into a corn husk. Spoon about 3 tablespoons beef mixture in a line across the middle of each husk. Top with a small amount of cheese. Fold opposing sides of the tortilla to overlap the filling. Roll the husk around the tamale and fold in one end.
- Combine the remaining 1 clove garlic, 1 cup water, and chili powder in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring chili sauce to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Stand a batch of the tamales, folded ends-down, in a steamer basket on top of a double boiler over simmering water. Bring water to a boil; cover and steam for 20 minutes. Remove tamales from heat; remove husks and top tamales with the chili sauce. Repeat with remaining tamales.

Steps:
- You have to beat the lard, (I use a machine), beat it until it gets soft, and fluffy.
- Add the flour, and keep beating it.
- Into a blender put the jalapenos, onion, tomatoes, salt, and the peregil. Add some water, you are making a salsa.
- In another pot, put some water and the chicken, and boil them.
- Take a big spoon of the mixture of the lard and spread it on the corn leaves, add a spoon of salsa, and a piece of chicken in it. Wrap the husk so the flour mixture seals around the meat and salsa
- Keep doing this until the mixture is gone
- Steam them in an oversized pot.
- In mexico we use special pots, you can use any but be sure to cook them in the vapor.
- Let it cook, you'll know when its ready when you touch the tamale and its not fluffy any more, it gets solid.
- When you eat it put the leaf into the trash can, you won't eat the leaf, in mexico people add some cream over it and thats good.

- Make the masa dough: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the lard and 2 tablespoons of broth until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Combine the masa flour, baking powder, salt, and cumin in a separate bowl; stir into the lard mixture and beat well with an electric mixer.
- Add the broth, little by little to form a very soft dough. Beat on high speed for several minutes. The dough should spread like creamy peanut butter and be slightly sticky.* Cover the mixing bowl with a damp paper towel, to keep the dough from drying out.

- 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream lard and butter together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a hand mixer or whisk.) 2. In a separate bowl, mix masa harina, baking powder, and kosher salt together until well combined. Add dry ingredients to the whipped lard and mix until a shaggy dough forms. 3. Add broth one cup at a time, mixing after every addition, until a light, spongy dough forms. (You may not need to use all of the broth.) Test the masa by pressing a little into the palm of your hand. If it holds its shape and doesn’t crack, and is able to be easily removed from your palm without sticking, the dough is ready. If not, add more liquid and continue to mix.
- 1. In a large bowl or stockpot, soak corn husks in warm water and cover. (If the corn husks rise to the surface, cover with a clean plate or other weight.) Soak until softened, about 30 minutes and up to overnight, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. 2. Line a large strainer or steamer basket with corn husks (this is a good use for any extra-large or extra-small husks) and place a ball of foil in the center. Place tamales against the ball, open side up, leaning them against each other. 3. Set a softened corn husk on a flat surface smooth side up, with the wide end facing you and the tapered end pointing away from you. Starting from the wide end of the husk, spread 2 tablespoons masa with your fingers or an offset spatula from edge to edge and about ⅔ of the way up the husk. You should have a rectangle about a ¼ inch thick. Repeat with remaining husks. 4. Add 2 tablespoons of chilled filling to the center of the masa-covered husk. Fold one side of the husk over the fillin
