They will learn to make the masa (dough) and how to assemble them. Once all assembled they will learn how to cook them. A list of ingredients and supplies needed will be posted below under material needed and in the classroom, in advance so that students may be prepare to have their ingredients ready for the class. They will be using measuring cups and measuring spoons. They will learn how to measure out their ingredients. Learn the importance of hygiene before starting their dish. They will help clean up. Students will need to have all the supplies ready at the start of class in order to be ready to participate. If students would prefer to watch and refer to video at a later date, that is fine. They just need to be respectful of the students who are participating in class. Can’t wait to meet you in your kitchen to cook up some traditional Mexican tamales. My family enjoys them year round. Happy Cooking, Sweet T’s Edible Art Classes Tina Valdez
