TRADITIONAL MASA RECIPE - TAMALE DOUGH RECIPE | FOOD & WINE



Traditional Masa Recipe - Tamale Dough Recipe | Food & Wine image

Paola Briseño González often uses duck fat for her masa preparada for tamales but switches to shortening for vegetarian guests. Whether you grind your own homemade fresh masa or you pick some up at a local Latin market, it’s the secret to perfect tamales. A dough made from masa harina can be used if fresh masa is unavailable, but it will lack the sweet corn aroma and fluffy texture of fresh masa. For convenient-yet-flavorful alternatives to fresh masa, try the masa harina from Masienda (from $7, masienda.com), made from single-origin heirloom corn sourced from Oaxaca, or Gold Mine’s Organic Yellow Masa Harina (from $10, amazon.com).

Categories     Bread + Dough

Total Time 15 minutes

Yield Makes enough for 24 tamales

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup lard, duck fat, or shortening (about 7 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 pounds Homemade Fresh Masa or dough made from masa harina (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup lower-sodium chicken or vegetable stock, divided

Steps:

  • Combine lard, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add masa. Once all masa is added, return to medium-high speed; beat until mixture is fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to medium-low, and gradually stream in 1/2 cup chicken stock. Beat until mixture is well combined and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. The masa preparada should have the consistency of thick cake batter. If mixture is too thick, add additional chicken stock, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition, until correct consistency is achieved. Cover bowl with a damp towel, and proceed with assembling tamales.

Masa For Tamales | No Lard Recipe | Mexican Made Meatless™ image

This is my go-to masa for tamales recipe. It doesn't use lard! It will yield about 3lbs of masa, and should make 25 to 30 tamales using corn husks. The amount will depend on the size of the corn husk as well as how much masa is spread over it.

BASIC TAMAL DOUGH RECIPE | EPICURIOUS
Though the amount of salt may seem excessive, a lot of the salt will be lost when the mixture is steamed inside the tamal wrapping. You can reduce the amount somewhat, but remember that the particular flavor of masa in tamales is complemented by salt.

FRESH CORN TAMALES RECIPE | MYRECIPES
Cookbook author Marcela Valladolid showed us how to put on a tamalada--a tamale-making party--at her house near San Diego; this was one of the several tamales that day. These use corn flour rather than masa harina, with corn kernels mixed in. If you're choosing frozen corn, advises Valladolid, get the best you can find--juicy and sweet--and try not to add much, if any, water to the dough; otherwise it may ooze out of the cornhusk wrapper. See the "Tamalada Shopping List," below, for information about ingredients.
