Great Grandma Keka’s Traditional Fry Bread
Fry Bread recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of Blue Bird Flour
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 Tablespoons of lard
- 2/3 cup warm water
- Oil or lard for frying
Instructions:
- Combine dry ingredients, hand cut in lard, add water make a workable soft dough, cover let rest for 20 minutes.
- Tear into small fist size balls roll about 1/4” to 1/2” circle. My gram never rolled; she always flipped the dough back & forth on her hands. I’m not that coordinated, LOL. They are more tender this way; rolling makes the dough a little tough. Some people poke a hole in the center; I don’t.
- Fry until golden brown.
- Place on paper towels to absorb oil.
Serving Suggestions:
I use in place of tortillas or bread when we eat beans, can be used for Indian Tacos or dessert. Put honey on top.
