INDIAN FRY BREAD

The Indians of the Southwest make baking powder breads that they fry in hot
fat, usually lard. The hole in the center, now traditional, was originally
made by impaling the bread on a stick to lift it out of the hot fat. Begin 5
minutes ahead. 16 servings. 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 c. water
Salad oil
1. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add water;
stir until well mixed, adding a little more water, if needed.
2. Divide dough into 16 equal parts, roll into a ball. On floured surfaces,
roll each as thin as possible. Make hole in center of ball with finger.
3. In 4 quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil. Fry 1 piece at a time, about 30
seconds on each side until golden, turning once with a slotted spoon. Drain
on paper towels; serve. Yield: 16.
