Navajo Fry Bread II recipe

18 servings

2 cups oil for frying

4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons baking powder

2 tablespoons salt

2 1/2 cups warm milk

In a large heavy bottomed frying pan, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil or lard to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and milk; mix well.

When the dough has pulled together, form it into small balls and pat them flat.

Place 3 or 4 at a time into the hot oil.

When the rounds begin to bubble, flip them over and cook until golden.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
