Tamale question
It's that time of year again. Time to make tamales. While I have been
complimented on my tamales year after year, While the taste is excellent, (my opionion only) sometimes they come out a little on the dry side, sometimes not, but I always use the same recipe, beats me why they come out different, question is, what would make them more moist would it be more manteca, or less, more water, or less? Please help. TIA Mack |

Try more water in the masa and maybe make the filling a little moister, and soak the corn husks longer so they don't suck moisture out of the masa. If you add too much lard, it will sweat out of the tamale, making it greasy |
