However, most shortening is vegan already. I think coconut oil might work, but I haven’t tried it. However, most shortening is vegan already.

Can you recommend some sort of substitute so they are vegan? hi Cate,

I'm always so impressed when people make their own tamales. I really should put them on my "to do" list because I love them so much and imagine they are delicious homemade! These look so delicious!

The first time I made them, I didn't put very much masa or beans and got close to 40. This time I filled them a little more and I think I got around 25. I freeze them after I steam them. I just steam, let cool, wrap in foil, then put in a freezer bag. Then when you're ready to eat them, you steam them (again) straight from the freezer to warm them up.

A few questions though - how many does this make? (I am trying to get an idea of how many times that 1/2 cup shortening gets divided up!) And if you are going to freeze tamales, do you steam them and then freeze, or freeze after assembling and then steam straight from the freezer? Thanks!

Those verbs are different--I did something similar in Italian. These look very good. I've never made Tamales, but I really like them. I think that if I want to eat tamales here in Belgium, I'm going to have to MAKE them! Now I have the recipe. THANKS. I’m laughing at your Spanish video!
