There are 2 ways of making Panamanian tamales:
1- Using precooked yellow cornflour.
2- The traditional way that is from scratch, using new corn cobs.
The first one is faster and less complicated, but the second one has better flavor and of course more work and would be a little complicated. If I have to do it myself I will choose the first method because is faster and less complicated. But if my sister who is an expert preparing tamales would do it, I will say that the second method would be my favorite one.
