  • Beat the lard until it turns white. Add half of the flour and continue beating the dough, trying to pull the lard away from the edges.
  • Add the infusion of skins, the rest of the flour, and the pork broth gradually (without stopping to beat).
  • Integrate the baking powder and salt. Beat until fully combined.
  • Place a bit of the dough with the help of a spoon and spread it over the already soaked corn leaf. In the center, place poblano chili, corn, and Oaxaca cheese.
  • Fold each end of the leaf to cover the tamale and press a little to compact the dough. Finally, fold the tip of the leaf.
  • Place the tamales in a steamer for an hour and a half. You can check the tamales if you want. They will be ready when the dough pulls away from the leaf.
