Fry Bread II

Yet another Fry Bread recipe. I don't know where this one came from. Judging from the number of recipes, you'd think my favorite things in the world were fry bread and latkes...

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 - 1 1/4 cups water or milk
  • oil for frying

Did The Native Americans Use Crisco?

Combine the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center, add one cup of water or milk. Mix until a soft dough forms. (More liquid may be needed.) Knead dough until smooth and firm.

Cover the dough, let rest 10 minutes.

Pinch off egg-sized pieces. Flatten to 5" around. In heavy skillet, heat 1 1/2 inch oil to 350. Fry 2-3 pieces at a time until golden brown, 5-7 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels, serve warm.

Notes and Hints and Stuff

  • Water OR Milk?
    Yeah, you can use either one. If you're lacto-free, use water. Milk makes a richer dough.
