I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tamales turned out dry and crumbly.

I had a hard time finding corn husks, but I was able to find them at a local Mexican grocery store.

These tamales were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've made these tamales several times now and they always turn out perfect. The masa is fluffy and moist, and the filling is flavorful and delicious.
