Tamales are a traditional Mesoamerican dish made of masa (a starchy dough) filled with various ingredients, wrapped in corn husks, and steamed to perfection.
Steps:
1. Prepare the masa dough by combining masa harina, broth, and lard until a smooth dough forms.
2. Fill corn husks with a layer of masa dough and desired fillings like shredded pork, chicken, vegetables, or cheese.
3. Fold the corn husks and place the tamales upright in a steamer basket. Steam for about 1-1.5 hours until the masa is firm.
