Tamales Preparation

Prepare the Masa
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add chicken broth (or pork broth) until the dough is smooth and pliable.

Fill the Tamales
Take a soaked corn husk and spread about 2 tablespoons of masa dough on it. Add a spoonful of shredded chicken or pork in the center, then fold the sides inward and roll it up tightly. Repeat with remaining husks and filling.

Steam the Tamales
Place tamales upright in a steamer pot, cover, and steam for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the masa pulls away from the husk easily.
