   Cook's Tip: This recipe was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an attitude of less than 3000 feet may require slightly less cooking time. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Place corn husks into large bowl; completely cover with boiling water. Soak husks 30 to 45 minutes. Remove one husk and cut into 24 thin strips. 
   

4. Place lard in standing mixer bowl with paddle attachment; beat 5 minutes on medium high speed until light and smooth. Add broth or 1 cup reserved cooking liquid and Tapatio Hot Sauce™. Beat until just combined. Slowly add masa harina, baking powder and salt. Reduce speed to medium; beat 5 minutes until combined and smooth; dough should be wet. Cover and let stand 20 minutes to 1 hour.

5. Place steamer basket in 6 quart pot with 1 inch of water; bring water to a simmer. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons dough in center of each prepared husk. Spread dough with back of a spoon. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons shredded beef mixture. Fold in sides of husks then fold bottom up towards the center. Using one of the thin strips of corn husk, tie tamale so the husk stay in place. Place tamales vertically in steamer basket; cover. Steam tamales 2-1/2 hours, adding more water, as needed. 
   
   
   Check tamales for doneness. Remove one from steamer. If husk can easily be removed from dough, tamales are thoroughly cooked. If dough sticks to husk, steam for 15 minutes.
   Cook's Tip:

   You may steam tamales in the pressure cooker. Place steamer tray and 1 cup water in pressure cooker insert. Place tamales vertically on steam tray. Using the manual function, steam for 1-1/2 hours.

   
   

   Tamales can be prepared and fully cooked ahead of time and frozen. From frozen, steam tamales on cooktop in steamer basket for 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
