Chef's Notes
Do not rush the kneading of the masa! If your dough doesn't float in a cup of water, your tamales will be as dense as a brick wall.
Pro Tip
Always place a few clean coins at the bottom of your steamer pot; when you hear them rattling, you know you still have water. If they stop rattling, panic quietly and add more hot water.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using frozen, unthawed banana leaves that instantly snap in half like dry twigs, leaving you with a puddle of mole and masa all over your floor.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the tamale go to the doctor? Because it was feeling a little unwrapped.
The Culinary Science
The banana leaf acts as a natural moisture barrier and imparts subtle aromatic compounds into the masa during the steaming process, utilizing steam distillation on a micro scale.
