There are just two main elements; the dough, and the filling. The dough, called “masa” is spread on the corn husk. The corn husks do not get eaten, they are just used to envelope the dough and filling of the tamale which gets cooked inside.
Do you eat the whole tamale: Tamales are wrapped and cooked in a corn husk. The corn husk is not something that people typically you eat! After making your tamale, you unwrap the corn husk and remove the food from it.
Cover the tamales with a heavy cloth (to absorb the condensation), then place the lid on top. Bring the pot to a boil, then simmer and steam for 2 - 3 hours, or until the masa pulls away from the corn husk easily. To finish tamales in the oven: Line tamales up on the racks of the oven.
