Great recipe. I made mine to use for Indian Taco's. I haven't had them in ages but when I found this recipe I knew that it was time to revisit these yummies! The recipe makes perfect fry bread that is puffy and delicious. Made for Pic A Chef, Spring 2013 -
Back in 1997 I went to an Indian Festival and tasted these wonderful versatile fried dough. Then when I was in Tucson, AZ recently, I went to San Xavier Mission as I heard that Indian vendors sold authentic frybread there. They sold two versions one savory and one sweet. This recipe is amazingly delicious and will definitely go in my Best of 2013 Cookbook. I made the sweet version sprinklerd with sugar and cinnamon. Thanks for posting! Made for 2013 Spring PAC.
