Homemade Fry Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cup unbleached flour
- 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 1/2 tsp shortening
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup water
- oil for deep-fat frying
- butter honey and lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- Combine flour, dry milk powder, baking powder, and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Add water gradually, mixing to form a firm ball. Divide dough; shape into 12 balls. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Roll each ball into a 6-in. circle. With a sharp knife, cut a 1/2-in.-diameter hole in the center of each.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry dough circles, one at a time, until puffed and golden, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels; if desired, serve warm with butter, honey, and fresh lemon juice.
