Navajo Recipes:Fry Bread; Blue Corn Mush; Dried Corn Stew
Fry Bread
3 cups of Blue bird flower
2 table spoons of baking power
1 teaspoon of salt (don't have to, if you don't want to)
1 cup of warm water (if dough still hard then add more water
to get the dough soft)
2 spatula full of shortning (any
kind of shortning) in frying pan (after
the dough is soft and finish mixing) on the stove
with the heat on high.
When you are finish with the dough mixing then put a
small amont of dough (not to big so where it will fit the
frying pan). Later on, you can increase on the size of the
dough.
Then slowly spread the dough apart and stretch the dough where
it is nice and round. So it will fit in the frying pan, then slowy
put the round dough in the frying pan to (after awhile) where it will turn gold.
(Depending on how high the heat is on the frying pan and if
its on high then check it after about 10 to between 20
seconds until gold.
When it is gold then slowly turn the other side where it will be
the same as the other side. Then you are finish and the
proceed with the other part of the dough that
is left.
