Dried corn husks need to be softened before you can work with them. Place them in a large pot or clean sink filled with water. Since the husks will float, weigh them down with a plate or whatever you have on hand. The corn husks will take at least an hour to reach desired softness. I like to let them soak for more than two hours, just to be on the safe side.
