SR
ground chuck : 80 to 85 percent lean / 15 to 20 percent fat should be fine for the tamales ?
higher/lower fat % content ?
I seem to recall Manuels tamale meat was a "fine" ground , not coarse like a burger
I have no problem with cooking or making the meat filling, the only thing I have questions about is preparing the cornmeal dough - care to share your experiences, TIA

Corn meal - some goes in the meat, the rest is just used to roll the tamales in. Sometimes I sprinkle a little extra on the paper or the tamale. Remember, Manuels had a very low corn to meat ratio.
As far as meat, I used 20% fat. Chuck gives great flavor.
