12. Make your Tamales.
13. Take a husk place on a flat surface, take one tablespoon of masa dough and spread over husk to within 1 inch of the edges.
14. Place one tablespoon of filling onto the centre of the masa, pick up husk and roll the masa over the filling roll into a tube flip up the pointed end to make a packet and tie with butchers string or a strip of husk.
15. Place in your steamer and steam for 90 mins, till cooked.
16. Once cooked you can eat them or store in the freezer for later. I vacuum seal mine in pairs they will keep for 6 months (if you can keep your hands off them). Best eaten hot with a good slosh of salsa and a nice crisp salad. To reheat steam for about 10 mins or re heat in microwave for about 2 mins well covered until piping hot.
