Ya know!! I am going to try that Fried Bread!
My adopted grandson is American Indian. I tried making “ Fry Bread” last year for him...and it was a disaster! Maybe I should have let you do it for him!!

Being part Sioux, growing up for a time in Hardin Montana (On the Reservation), Fried bread was a common fare, served hot with butter and maple syrup.
Here’s the recipe my mom used, (a Blackfoot lady gave it to her when I was a kid, so this is at least fifty years old.)
4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. powdered milk
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1-1/2 cups water (warm from the tap)
Oil for frying, (Mom used either /Crisco, or Peanut oil)
Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly. Add water. Knead until soft, then set aside for one hour in warm area. Shape into small balls, and then flatten each ball into a circle with hand pressure, or rolling pin. Fry in a skillet until golden brown on both sides. Oil should be only as deep as half the thickness of the bread, so you cook only one side at a time.
