Anyone have an amazing Tamale recipe? I heard Grant mention double steaming in his recent Gnocchi Facebook feed.

Cheers! Alex

Rick Bayless has been my go to on tamale dough. I nixtamalize my own corn. Since my corona grinder can't get a fine enough grind for proper tortillas, this is the best application. My fillings have ranged from traditional to non-traditional. To me the best final texture is a result of steam, completely chill, steam, serve....oh, and good lard is an important flavor component.

Thanks Frank!! Any success with butter or coconut oil? I'm doing a vegetarian version (the client eats dairy)

I have not tried it with butter or coconut oil. I would be interested in hearing how alternate fats work out though.

Haven't tried yet but this yields my desired texture. Side note, this guy makes epic tacos in LA. https://youtu.be/Nap2ZwrdeuQ
