FLOUR TAMALES 🧡

Hello little cooks! I'm sharing this delicious recipe from Michoacán💕. We enjoy them plain, with hot chocolate, champurrado, or atoles made with caramel or tamarind. We also eat them filled with mole or carnitas, or use them to accompany menudo or some soups like churipo or mole de olla. Like a little bread.

Hello little cooks! I'm sharing this delicious recipe from Michoacán💕. We enjoy them plain, with hot chocolate, champurrado, or atoles made with caramel or tamarind.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, add the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar, and mix with your hand or a mixer hook as needed.
- 2
Gradually add the necessary warm water until a ball of dough forms that is neither sticky nor dry.
- 3
Knead sufficiently until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 4
Divide the dough into approximately 20 small balls and start shaping each one.
- 5
Place each ball on a corn husk and use a strip of the same husk to tie a knot at the end of the husk or at the tip, only on one side, as tying two knots will prevent it from rising.
- 6
Carefully place the tamales in a warm place and cover them with a cloth napkin.
- 7
Let them rest to rise until they double in size, I leave them for about half an hour.
- 8
Meanwhile, place the steamer with enough water on the stove.
- 9
Once the tamales have risen, arrange a layer of corn husks at the bottom of the steamer and carefully place the tamales.
- 10
One layer of tamales, then another of husks, and another of tamales, finishing with husks. If your steamer is large, you won't need multiple layers.
- 11
Steam for 45 minutes to 1 hour from the time it starts boiling and they're ready!
Enjoy them with atole or filled 💕

My daughter wanted to learn how to make these, so we spent all day in the kitchen together. I'm pretty sure she won't be making these any time soon. Lol😆. I prepared the pork and sauce the night before. I prepared the pork in a crock pot. Came out very tender. wingmaster835 -
California Tamale Pie California Tamale Pie
This casserole can be prepared pretty quickly and is fairly customizable. You can dial the spice level up or down, select your favorite ground meat and cheese, and omit or substitute some ingredients (e.g. if you don’t like olives, maybe try adding a little extra corn or bell pepper).Since my three year old doesn’t like spice, I had to make a non-spicy version, but I would have liked to throw some green chiles in! 🥵 🌶 💕. Maybe next time… Modified from Valerie’s Kitchen Chris Gan -

The more I cook Tex Mex dishes, the more I realize these are large meals for lots of hard working people.

BIRRIA TACOS 🌮 BIRRIA TACOS 🌮
To introduce TACOS or other mexican food to family members or friends from other countries can be difficult as not many have access to authentic mexican ingredients. Ancho, Pasilla and Guajillo chillies are hard to come by and these chilies are used in mexican food. Knowing what they can or cannot get helps us to come up with this recipe with minor adjustments without compromising on the taste of Birria Taco. This recipe uses dried chilies that is available in many Asian shops around the world since it's used in many Asian food. This dried chili is similar to Arbol chili (Chile de Árbol).#CA2025#CookpadApron2025#may2026#Birria#lunch#dinner#snack#appetizer#starter#beef#meat#mexican#texas#HEB#boneless#lamb#fingerfood#taco#redonion#pork#bites#chuckroast#slowcook#slowcooker#consomé Pinkblanket's Kitchen -
Just Cake Flour Easy Tortillas Just Cake Flour Easy Tortillas
My recipes for "Naan Made With Just Cake Flour"and "Pizza"were well received, so I made this recipe. These tortillas are more delicious than I thought they would be. If you make these, let me know how it goes.The hot water and kneading make the dough soft. If you are making a lot, wrap leftover tortillas with a damp towel and wrap with plastic wrap to keep them from dying out. Overcooking will make the tortillas tough, so remove from the pan as soon as the cheese melts. Recipe by mini cookpad.japan -

Be careful not to burn yourself when you are using boiling water. Also see a Turkish version of tortillas (these are made in the oven).The tortillas with yeast:. Recipe by Kuminchan cookpad.japan -
