This is the best masa I've ever had. The woman who writes this blog used to own a catering
company and was renowned for her tamales. I still can't believe she published the recipe. The only step missing is that after you make the masa, she chills the dough before assembly.
In the photo below the directions, that is chilled dough. As she says, when you've just made the masa (before it has chilled), it looks like buttercream. Cheers to whipped lard and uber light masa!
