I made these for christmas and it was my first attempt at tamales. They came out very tastey! I used 5 ears of corn instead of 7 and 1 cup of harina and they turned out just right. The perfect texture. Thank you for making my first attempt at tamales so simple! I will definately make these next year. My guests loved them as well YAY

So yummy! They tasted just like the tamales at my favorite mexican restaurant. I also used 1 1/2 cups of harina de maiz instead of just a 1/2 cup since most of the reviews said they did as well, and it turned out perfect. Will definitely make them again!

I made these tamales for mothers and they were a big hit! I too thought they were super easy to make...and they were very delicious! Being that my family is Mexican and they love tamales (which makes them hard critics they loved them... these are true Mexican tamales made easy...we loved them thank Maricela!

I made this recipe yesterday. I adjusted the recipe based on the reviews I read for the harina (1 1/2 cup harina de maiz. They are delicious. A co-worker said, "It is the Mexican version of corn bread".

I've made tamales all my life, but I've never made corn tamales before. I decided to try them because they seemed so easy. I was disappointed. I followed every single direction. Unfortunately the tamales came out very mushy, even after I added more masa harina than what it needed and even after I let them steam for about 3 hours longer than what they needed to be. They tasted great but it was just a big mushy mess.

Not for me. Baby food is the analogy seemed to suite this one best. I was looking for a corn tamale recipe but sugar and corn puree with no cheese or peppers is just not a hit for me. This is not what I consider a savory dish really more of a corn desert dish or something. Will not try again or even attempt to modify. Would have used a lower rating if it had been possible.

These were the best tamales ever!!!!! My family loved them too! You have to try it! But make it how the recipe says, like I did. They came out perfect! Not too hard not too soft! PERFECT!!!!! P.S I know your problem! Your in California, where it's very moist ( I should know, I lived there for some years so since it's so moist out there, the moisture in the air makes it mushy, but when I made these, I was not in California, that's why they worked out perfectly for me. :

1. It takes 1.5 cups of the corn flour.
2. I used 2lbs of super sweet frozen corn from costco.

They are the BEST corn tamales. I've made it 5 times! Yumm-yy!!
