You can also mix using a KitchenAid, in batches. Keep adding liquid until it's not sticking to your fingers. Make a small ball and in a glass of water see if it floats. If it floats, it's ready.

Easiest Tamales Ever Easiest Tamales Ever
I love mexican food but tamales can be so time consuming! So I did what I could and cut down the time, and also just made it easier in general. Still time consuming but not as much. Im not a huge meat eater but you can eliminate my filling for a meat filling if you have your own recipe. You can also use corn husks if you want more presentation and more work lol. gremlynwulf -
