Indian Fry Bread (also known as Squaw Bread).  I would like to thank a very dear friend and neighbor, Nita Collie, for this recipe.  She brought over a bowl of chile and some "Squaw Bread" for Carol and I to try, and I just loved it.  We gobbled it up so quickly, that we didn't have a chance to eat it in the proper tradition (see below).


Ingredients:

2 cups flour
2 heaping teaspoons Baking Powder
1 heaping teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1-1/4 cups milk

Sift dry ingredients.  Add milk and roll out dough as for dough nuts. 
You want the finished dough to be soft, not stiff.  Cut in 2" squares
with a slit in the middle.  I use a small spatula to cut dough.   Drop
into about an inch and a half of hot, hot, oil.  Fry until light brown;
drain on paper towels.  Serve hot with butter and honey.  I made a batch (the very day I posted this), but chose to dust them with powdered sugar ... mmmmm, good!
