Ingredients
1¼ cups pork lard ¼ teaspoon baking powder 2 pounds nixtamalized corn masa
¼ teaspoon red liquid food coloring, optional 1 tablespoon strawberry extract or flavoring, optional 18 corn husks for tamales, softened in hot water
11/3 cups water 1¼ cups sugar ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
1 Place the pork lard and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Beat at high speed with the Royal Prestige ® Power Blender Go Plus until the mixture becomes light in color with a texture similar to frosting. Set aside. 2 In another mixing bowl, knead the masa and water vigorously with your hands until there are no lumps. 3 Add the sugar, raisins, food coloring, and flavoring then knead again. 4 Mix in the beaten lard until the mixture is even. 5 Take about 1/3 cup of the prepared masa and place it on a corn husk, spreading it a little. 6 Fold the long ends of the husk toward the middle so they overlap. 7 Close the tamale by folding the pointed end of the husk toward the center, over the previous fold, without pressing too hard to keep the masa from seeping out. 8 Repeat this process with the rest of the husks and masa. 9 In the Royal Prestige ® 20 QT Stock Pot, pour in a little water, and insert the stock pot rack. 10 Arrange the tamales in a vertical position with the openings toward the top. 11 Cover with the Redi-Temp™ Valve open and cook for 20 minutes over high heat until it whistles. 12 When it whistles, reduce the heat to medium-low, close the valve, and cook for 1 hour. 13 Turn off heat and allow the tamales to rest for 20 minutes. 14 Serve.
