Does anyone have a tamale making machine? I need help?

We have one of those tamale making machines and the dough recipe that came with it is too dry....it has to have a certain consisitancy to go through the machine right. Do you have a good recipe,,,I've tried the ones on the internet.....but if you make these with a machine,,,would love to have yours...or maybe you know why our dough is too dry...

Update:

No kidding? We found one at tamaleking.com and they work great....you put the dough in one place and the filling in anothers and out pops a tamales all pretty and ready to wrap in a corn husk..they save a lot of time....It's my DHs new toy to help him after he quit smoking,,,,,,,he took up grilling, smoking jerky and tamale making.

    I had the same trouble the first time I made them by hand.

    Add a little more liquid to the masa..slowly until you reach the desired texture.

    Not sure why you would need a machine to make a tamale, however when I make them by hand a rule I go by is having the mesa some what sticky like cookie dough. Add more broth, to the masa. Flavored broth.

    I got excited when I thought you were looking for a female making machine.

    Dratz. I had high hopes for a moment.

    I haven't a clue what a tamale making machine does.

    But if you do accidentally find a female making machine, inquiring minds want to know about it!

    It would make a good movie for guys with no luck getting good dates.
