This turned out perfectly for the Indian tacos' recipe I made: Recipe #164394. I shaped the dough too small but next time I'll know to make them bigger. See my review for the Indian tacos.

I plan to use this at our meeting at the musuem. the topic is American artifacts. So thought this would go well. But can I make it the day before and still be good?

I lived on a Navajo reservation in Arizona for about a year when I was younger and I would sneak out at night when the Grandma of the tribe we lived with was making frybread and I'd snatch some. She always made enough for all the neighborhood kids to come and steal a piece off her windowsill. Thank you very much for reminding me of this. It brings back fond memories and I love frybread!
