Chef's Notes
Treat your masa with the gentle respect of a newborn prince. If your masa is too dry, your tamales will crumble like ancient ruins; keep it moist and fluffy!
Pro Tip
Want extra smoky depth? Roast your peppers over an open gas flame instead of the broiler, but keep your windows wide open unless you want the fire department dropping by for dinner.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to secure the bottom of your tamales properly, resulting in a tragic, melted cheese explosion at the bottom of your steamer pot that leaves you crying into an empty corn husk.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal guards spent three days inspecting the corn husks for treasonous tears before allowing them near the steamer.
The Culinary Science
Soaking the corn husks rehydrates the plant fibers, making them flexible enough to fold without snapping while trapping the steam inside to gelatinize the starches in the masa.
