Forget the cornmeal batter...I used the filling recipe and my own masa, sometimes with lard, sometimes with corn oil, depends upon what I have on hand. A friend of mine shared the tip of adding a couple of dried cranberries along with the filling in each tamale and that is totally great, too. I'm rating the filling only, can't get behind cornmeal in a tamale!

You have got to be kidding me - make Tamales the way they are supposed to be made - it's really not that hard. Teaching people to make Tamales with cornbread batter is as lame as it gets.

I really like this recipe.
It is easy & delicious! But, the most terrific part of this recipe is the
'Southern Cornbread Batter'. It 'works' better for me than the "traditional" masa - which just has too nuch lard/shortening. Plus, the buttermilk just adds a nice tang to it.
I doubled the recipe. Freezes well!
Great recipe to tweak, too!

Basically, I thought that the recipe itself was not that hard. It was mostly wrapping the corn husks that became difficult. I would recommend wrapping like a piece of candy rather than a gift box.
Overall, they turned out well, but I think that practice makes perfect.
