Never tried that. Have you done those before? It sounds good.

Was gonna make more today and just didn't have anyone to help me.

My married (almost ;D) son wants zuchinni and corn tamales.

Sonny it might be the Barley Pops that I have had tonight but I didn't see the recipe on how to make these. Would you send it to me?

CRG, we have not made the sweet potato tamales; a coworker/friend of mine makes these and WILL NOT give me the recipe.
I was hoping that you might have made these. They are like a desert tamale.
Mrs made some tamales a while back. They were very good, but the masa dough was too thick. How thick should the dough be when spreading it on the husk?

You don't want to see thru your masa.

Try a semi heaping tablespoon and I spread mine with a butter knife or a frosting (cake)
knife. I put the glob in center of husk to one side, spread it to the width I want, run the masa down,
kinda spread around to fill in the voids, run the masa back up, repeat filling in the voids, and then back down again.

Doing it in your hand is faster, but to get an even masa lay it down on the edge of a clean work surface.

I have smoked Tamales and that is some good eats.
