What’s “masa”?
A buddy of mine in gradeschool...his dad married a mexican girl after his divorce. She used to make tomales from scratch. They were basically a lump of damp unleaven corn bread with a pinch of cheese and a chili pepper inside...all wrapped up in a corn husk.
THEY WERE DELICIOUS
She called them “cheese tomales”. They made them from scratch from whole ears of sweet corn. They bought it with the husk on it and saved the husks for the wrap. When she made them, it would be a two day event with 4 or 5 women and they would make a whole pickup truck load of them.
Masa is a corn flour. It’s crumbly when made right. Some add corn kernels but I don’t like that kind.
