1

Soak corn husks in warm water for 30 minutes until pliable.

2

In a large bowl, combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, beat lard until fluffy, then gradually add masa mixture.

4

Add water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5

Spread a portion of the dough onto a soaked corn husk, leaving space at the edges.

6

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of the dough.

7

Fold the sides of the husk over the filling, then fold up the bottom.

8

Repeat with remaining husks and dough.

9

Arrange tamales upright in a steamer pot.

10

Steam tamales for about 1-1.5 hours, adding water as needed.

11

Check for doneness; tamales are ready when the masa separates easily from the husk.

Serve hot with salsa on the side.
