Navajo Fry Bread

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons shortening
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup water
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients; cut in shortening as for pastry. Add water gradually, mixing to form a firm ball. Divide into 6 balls; let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Roll each ball into 6-in. circle. Cut 1/2-in.-diameter hole in center of each circle.

Heat 1 inch oil. Slip each circle into oil; fry each side for 1 minute or until puffed and golden.

Yield: 6 fry breads.
