When I make tamales it is usually a 2 or even 3 day process for me alone to make them. But I always say that the effort is so worth it. With your recipe and technique I could still have the same taste presented cuter and prepared in a lot less time. This is such a brilliant idea! <br />THanks for posting a YBR badge and for joining us. I do hope to see you on next month's YBR as well.

Th...Dianna~<br /><br />I've made these a couple times... <br />The first time, I placed a large pan of water on the rack below. The masa cups came out very moist and very similar to the texture of real tamales. The only problem was that they were hard to extract from the muffin tins without damaging the cup. The second time I tried it without the pan of water. The texture of the masa was definitely different from traditional tamales, but much easier to handle. I preferred the second batch. The flavor was on, even if the texture was a bit different!A SPICY PERSPECTIVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05047960457900742806noreply@blogger.com
