Where is the tamales in corn husks

You want the husk to be soft and pliable, ready to wrap your tamales. When you are ready to assemble your tamales, remove corn husks as needed leaving the remaining to soak. Place on a baking sheet, cover them with a damp paper towel to help retain their moisture. If the corn husks begin to dry out, return to water and allow to soak. I hope this helps you plan, prep to make tamales. Find more info here on how to make tamales and how to host a tamalada.

To assemble tamales:. Soak corn husks in hot water until soft. Using the larger husks, place each husk waxy side up ribbed side down. Spread masa onto each husk out to the wide edge. Place a small portion of meat in the center of masa.
