INDIAN FRY BREAD

 

        4 cups Flour (unsifted is best)                    1 to 1-1/2 cups oil for frying (traditionally

        1 tablespoon Baking Powder                                      fry bread is fried in lard or

        1 teaspoon Salt                                                         grease which gives a nice brown

         2 tablespoons Dry (Powdered) Milk                            finish, but has lots of cholesterol)

         1-1/2 cups warm Water

 

In large bowl mix Flour, Baking Powder and Salt.  Add the Powdered Milk and mix all together.

Pour warm water into bowl and mix by hand until soft.  Scoop about one-fourth cup dough and

work it back and forth until it is round and flat like pizza dough. Make hole in middle for fast 

frying.   Drop dough into the hot oil and brown on both sides.  Fry Bread can be served plain or sprinkled with powdered sugar.  Also,  honey drizzled over it makes a yummy treat.

Fry bread is an excellent MONEY RAISER for clubs, student organizations, etc. as it can be

made easily at the function site, needs no refrigeration, smells divine while cooking, and is

economically a very great producer.
