Basic Navajo Fry Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Cut in the shortening until it resembles crumbs.
- Slowly add water and mix thoroughly until you have a good dough.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes.
- Use flour when needed and break off pieces about the size of a golf ball.
- You flatten these balls to about pancake size and fry in hot oil.
- I don't remember the reason why but the Indians poke a hole in the center of the dough before frying.
- When they are golden, drain on paper towels.
