Does anybody know where to buy butcher paper or smooth parchment paper cut into tamale size? Pretty sure that's what Manuel's used. That would help the corn meal to release from the paper cleanly. I have had some tamales where, when you opened the meaty goodness, a good bit of corn meal would go with the wrapper.

I usually use the artificial textured tamale papers (maybe parchment?) rather than natural husks, which are too big. I would love to get the smooth paper ones already cut to size.

Zuppardo's and other supermarkets usually carry the textured ones, and International Market off Cleary in Metairie has very large butcher paper sheets. Just wish I could get the right ones.
