Recipe - Frybread (Zahsakokwahn)

2 cup Flour
3 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk
Deep hot fat in frypan or
fryer

FRYBREAD (Zahsakokwahn) Staple of Powwows, Symbol of Intertribal Indian
Unity

Frybread: Just a couple out of hundreds, but all basically alike. The first
makes 810 small ones or 5 big flat ones for Indian tacos.

Sift dry ingredients. Lightly stir in milk. Add more flour as necessary to
make a dough you can handle. Kneed and work the dough on a floured board
with floured hands until smooth.

Pinch off fistsized limps and shap into a disk everyone has their own
characteristic shapes.(Shape affects the taste, by the way because of how
it fries). For Indian tacos, the disk must be rather flat, with a
depression almost a hole in the center of both sides.

Make it that way if the fry bread is going to have some sauce over it.
Smaller, round ones are made to put on a plate. Fry in fat (about 375°)
until golden and done on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent
paper. (Phyllis Jarvis, Paiute)
