First attempt at Tamales

[budda]

Once we get official word from the taste testers I would like to know if this is this a secret family recipe or are you able to share?

No secret family recipe here. I just made a pork shoulder in the crockpot Like I would for pulled pork Sandwiches, them I googled "tamale recipe" for the masa and picked the one that sounded good.

I think they are pretty good for the first go around. The masa was a wee bit thick on the first few I made but once I got a handle on it it was easy. I like the cheese ones, too.

My wife found a recipe for chocolate tamales tonight. I will report how that comes out.

I've been that for a while now. I was simply stating that no one was going to like him after he refused to share.. call me 'psychic'.

I see people liking him if he shared, but the future on that is hazy. Magic 8 ball says he will not share.

You are right. No sharing on this go. HATE ME IF YOU MUST but I still have the tamales. One day I will get crazy and make 20-30 dozen, I only got about 6 dozen out this time, and I may share. It is dependent on the freezer room available.
