Tamale Spreader Instructions
I have to admit I was
a bit skeptical of using this
tamale masa spreader gadget for spreading masa. But after struggling
with a spoon I gave this a try and now "I'm a believer"!
Pick up ½ cup of masa dough with front of spreader.
Place on husk and press to the angle of the spreader
Slide towards the bottom of the husk until the entire husk is covered.
-
The spreader works
best with soft, warm, masa
-
Use the large smooth
surface to spread.
-
For thicker masa use
more masa and less pressure.
