  "Coffee filters make excellent tamale wrappers, "precut, durable and
  they come in several sizes".
  
  It’s a lot easier to make the tamales if you mix the meat mixture and
  the man mixture together, then all tamales in the batch have the same
  proportions of meat and masa for a uniform product.
  
  They're a lot easier to make and taste just as good. If the recipe
  yields more than you want, freeze half of the balls and cut the sauce
  ingredients by half."
  
  Combine first five ingredients. Mix dry ingredients and add. Shape
  into about 40 small balls. In large Dutch oven combine sauce
  ingredients. Drop balls into sauce and simmer, tightly covered, for
  two hours.
