Tamale Masa

 One recipe that makes 12-15

2 cups of Maseca specifically for  tamales
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon salt 
1 teaspoon  vegan dry bouillion
1 Cup Sunflower Oil 
2-3 cups water


I did 2.5 the recipe making 31 tamales.   2 T masa with 1 T filling per tamale 

Whip batter that is the texture of hummus for 15 minutes adding water carefully.   It will suck up the water, but you do not want to make it too loose.

Put 2 T masa onto husk (smooth side) spreading it into a square.   Add 1 T filling.   Bring masa edges together, rolling it, then folding the bottom.   I put the paper folded tamale into a sandwich paper and folded to prevent the mixture from oozing out the top.    Steam for 1 hour.

ON NEXT GO
I would see if I could reduce the salt to 1/2 a Tablespoon per recipe and reduce the oil to 2/3 cup per recipe.
