This recipe is incomplete! There are no instructions for how to cook nor how long to cook the pastels.
Hi Ali,
The final step was initially left off the recipe. We’ve just corrected it. So sorry about that! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Nothing left to do after Step 8? No cooking or baking?

what would you use if masarepa isn’t available?
Bob’s Red Mill masa harina is excellent.
Sounds like these would be tasty tamales.
I can’t find how these are baked or steamed and for how long. Thank you, sounds delicious.
