These tamales are delicious! I have been looking for a good tamales recipe for years. One day I went to the international market and stood in the Mexican aisle until a woman with a full cart came by. I just asked her if she knew how to make tamales. This is her recipe with a few additions from me! This is great served with refried beans and a salad.
1 ¼ pounds pork loin
1 large onion, halved
1 clove garlic
4 dried chile peppers
2 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 (8 ounce) package dried corn husks
⅔ cup lard
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth, or as needed
2 cups masa harina
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
