1. Place the meat in a saucepan with water to cover. Add 2 of the garlic cloves and the onion. Cook, covered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain, reserving the broth. Shred the meat and set aside.
2. Soak the chiles in the hot water for 10 minutes. Puree with the remaining 2 garlic cloves. Saute the puree in hot lard for 3 minutes. Add the shredded meat, season with salt to taste, and cook for 3 minutes more, until thickened.
3. To prepare the masa, beat the masa harina with 1 cup of the pork broth for 10 minutes. In another bowl, beat the lard very thoroughly until spongy. Add to the beaten masa harina with the baking powder and a tablespoon of salt. Beat well. Spread 1 tablespoon of this mixture on each corn husk and top with a small amount of the pork filling. Fold the long edges of the husks toward the center to enclose the filling, then fold the ends up to shape each tamale into a tightly wrapped package.
4. Pour water into a tamalera or large steamer. Place a layer of corn husks on the bottom, then stand the filled tamales upright around the edge of the steamer.
Cover and cook for 1 hour, until the tamales are cooked through. To test, remove and open a tamale; the filling should separate easily from the husk..
