Indian Fry Bread

This is one I found in my recipe file from childhood, so I'm not sure where it came from originally, but we tried it again and found it to work really well!

3 cups flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 cup milk
1 cup water
Oil (for frying)

Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 15 minutes till smooth and elastic.  Pinch off small (palm size or smaller) amounts and roll into balls.  Roll flat with a rolling pin, to approximately 1/4-1/2 inches thick, and lay gently into hot oil to fry.  Fry bread is done when both sides are lightly brown and bubbly.  Place on paper towell or cookie rack to cool.  Serve warm.

These are great topped with ground beef, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, etc. and eaten as 'Navajo Tacos' OR with honey or powdered sugar when hot as a dessert. Yum.
