Masa harina masa from Tamales 101: A Beginner's Guide to Making Traditional Tamales by Alice Guadalupe Tapp

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The texture is better if one uses the coarser masa harina para tamales rather than the standard masa harina which is intended for tortillas and such. Note both forms of masa harina are uncooked while masarepa which looks similar is actually precooked.
