Place the lard in a bowl along with the baking powder and soften the lard until it becomes lighter in color with the help of a whisk. By beating the lard this way, you add air to make the tamales fluffy and light. Add salt and corn dough for tortillas gradually, crumbling it until integrated. Then pour in the warm pork broth, as it will help the dough dissolve faster. Mix the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
