Back to cooking we will go. And, just for fun, make a Navajo Taco. That way you have something special and the family think you are working so hard in the kitchen.
Yes, you can sprinkle flour on your face, and pretend you are exhausted.
I love this recipe, Navajo Fry Bread, it is simple to make, and simple to eat, as in a pizza, taco, or a treat.
No rising, just make and cook.
Navajo Fry Bread
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups warm water
Oil for deep-frying -
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add water in small amounts, mixing between each addition. Knead dough till soft but not sticky. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.
Pull off egg-sized balls and roll each into a round about 1/4 inch thick.
Prick with fork 3 or 4 times to allow dough to puff up when it is fried. Deep-fry in hot oil in heavy skillet.
Serve spread with jam, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or salt. Makes 16 to 20 rounds.
*I also serve this for dinner - topped with Fried Hamburger, Beans, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sour Cream and of course, salsa.
This again is a recipe that won't keep - but there isn't usually anything left over.
Enjoy -
I am planning on making these for dinner tonight, but my recipe in the notebook that you gave to me is different than this one. Where did you get it? Is this one the better of the 2?
