Directions:
- In a food processor, pulse the masa harina with the baking powder and salt.
- Add the water and pulse to moisten the masa harina.
- Add the vegetable shortening in clumps and drizzle with the chicken stock.
- Process until smooth and evenly blended, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl and stir in the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro and scallions.
- Tear twelve 12-inch-square sheets of plastic wrap.
- Working with 6 at a time, spoon a scant 1/2 cup of the tamale mixture onto the center of each sheet.
- With lightly moistened hands, press the tamales into 4-by-2-inch rectangles, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Fold up the squares of plastic around the tamales, twist the ends securely and then fold them under to make packets.
- Repeat to form the remaining tamales.
- Arrange the tamales seam side down in the bottom of a large bamboo (or other) steamer.
- Steam over 2 inches of boiling water for 25 minutes.
- Let the tamales cool slightly, then carefully transfer them to a large platter:
- Cut the ends of the plastic-wrapped packets and slide the tamales out onto the platter.
- Serve the tamales with hot sauce and a Juicy, cherry-rich Merlot: 2005 Covey Run Columbia Valley.
