BTW I dehydrated mine, 105 for 5 hours. They were warm and tasted better than any tamales I've ever had! YUMMY!!! Thanks again

Tamales do have a softer outside :) The best ones I have had feel like they crumble in your mouth, but not in your hands :)

Hum, I'm puzzled. I thought traditional a tamale had a softer outer layer (which you don't eat). Are you thinking of a taquito? It's a crisy rolled corn tortilla with fixings inside.

I guess what I was trying to ask is if putting it in the dehydrator will make the outside of the corn mix "crispier", like a traditional tamale.
8.
The corn husks dry naturally fairly quickly (in about 1-2 hours) but I don't see why you couldn't them put in the dehydrator to spead up the process.

Can you dehydrate these to make a "crispier" outside similar to a tamale?
