Recipe Thursday

For this weeks recipe I'm going to post a couple of family favorites one from my mom's side and one from my husband's side.



INDIAN FRY BREAD

4 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons oil
2 1/2 cups water
vegetable oil (for frying)
Mix flour, baking powder & salt. Gradually stir in oil & water to make a soft dough. Stir until dough is smooth & shiny.
Cover, set aside 30 minutes. Shape dough into 16 balls the size of an egg.
Roll out on lightly floured board 1/2 inch thick. Heat oil 3 inches deep until hot.
Fry dough one at a time, turning with a fork until puffy & golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with honey, powdered sugar, or any fruit pie filling
