Here is how you make Meat Tamale - 3 Tamale per Serving:

I read online that these were a pain to make and very involved...but I found it fairly easy, you just need to plan ahead. The prep and cook times vary and you can speed up the husk softening by using hot water. Please read ALL the directions before you start. Also note, the masa is very bland without flavorings. So be sure to add to seasonings or you won't be happy with how this turns out.The first thing you want to do is combine all the ingredients for spicing the meat to a pot. Add enough water to just cover the meat. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 3 hours or until meat is falling apart. You can also put this in a slow cooker to cook.Meanwhile, put the corn husks in water to soften them. This takes 2-3 hours as well. You can also soak them overnight.Once meat is done and husks are flexible, whip butter on high speed until light and fluffy. Add flour until mixture is crumbly. Then, using the liquid from your cooked meat, add 1-2 cups until you have a nice soft dough.Now, take some dough (about 1/8 of a cup) and form into a log. Place this on a corn husk. Add some meat, about 1 oz, and then roll up inside the corn husk. Leave flat top end open and fold over bottom. Do this with the rest of the dough and meat. This should make about 36 tamales. Steam for 1 hour on vegetable steamer tray, with a lid.. Serve hot. Freeze after cooking and steam for 20 minutes or until hot.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SLUMBERMICHELLE.
