Time 1h

Yield 4 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 -15 cups masa harina flour
1 (26 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground mace
2 cups raisins (dark or golden)
36 -48 dried corn husks, soaked, washed, and drained plus more for ties

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the masa, pumpkin and sugar. Add the vanilla, mace, cinnamon, and raisins and mix until well blended.
  • To assemble the tamales, place 2 - 3 heaping tablespoons of the masa mixture in the net of the smooth side of the corn husk.
  • Fold the sides of the husk in toward the center and tie the tamale at both ends.
  • Prick the husk several times using the tip of a very sharp knife. Repeat for the remaining tamales.
  • Steam the tamales for 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Serve with a dollop of crema.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tamales turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I tried this recipe and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the pumpkin filling next time.
