Karen, here is the recipe you requested. Just be sure and not over
handle the dough. Pat out and stretch don't roll the dough.

It is a recipe I got from a Navajo woman in Farmington, New Mexico.
The notations I made are in parenthesis.

I hope you try it.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Navajo Fry Bread (Rosita's)

breads

2 cups flour; ap
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt; table
1/2 cup powdered milk
warm water

Slowly add warm water to form dough;. kneed until dough is soft but
not sticky, (being careful not to overwork the dough) cover with cloth
and allow to stand for 2 hours. shape into balls about 2 inches
across, then flatten by patting with hands until a circle about 8
inchs in diameter is formed. Put about 1/2 inch of lard or
other shortening in a large frying pan and heat until quite hot.
(center of the circle should be thinner than the edges. Poke a hole in
the center of the circle before gently lowering into the lard. Fry
until golden brown and puffing up, turn and brown other side.)
