Instructions
Prepare The Masa
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.
About Masa
Fresh masa dough (
see recipe here
) is always preferred.You can purchase "masa for tamales" at your local tortilla factory if there is one in your area. If it is not available then we feel Maseca brand Masa is the best on the market.
