Fry bread is not a traditional Cherokee recipe, yet it has become a
staple here over the past 50 years or so. It's often served with brown
beans or as the base for an 'Indian Taco.' There are many recipes and
lots of disagreement on which is the best. Here's a simple recipe that
is tasty.


You will need:

2 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C. water
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. instant dry milk
2 C. shortening

Add the flour, baking powder, salt, powdered milk and water into a bowl
and mix just enough to form a doughball. Don't overwork the dough or it
will become tough.

Heat shortening until flakes of flour start to bubble when dropped into
it. While shortening is heating, pull off a palm-sized mound of dough
and roll it into a smooth ball, then flatten into a disk shape. Size is a
matter of preference.

Put dough disks into hot shortening one or two at a time (don't let them
touch), cook until brown, turn over with tongs and cook other side
until brown. Watch carefully--they can get away from you and burn!

You
can take a brown paper bag and place a few sheets of paper towels on
the bottom and drop finished fry bread into bag to let grease drain.
Makes about 6 servings.

2 strips of good bacon
2 C. cooked hominy or one 15 oz can, yellow or white
2 or 3 green onions or a good handful of wild onions (RAMPS)


Fry bacon while cutting green onions into small pieces. Remove and
crumble bacon, set aside. Add onions to drippings to cook. When the
onions begin to sizzle, add hominy and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes
first on high heat, then on low. Add bacon back to the mixture and serve
hot.

Years ago my mom hung onto a skillet with a broken handle... So as a young boy I asked her because she had the money... "Mom why do you hang on to this when it has a broken handle?" she replied.... to remind me of the time I threw this at your dad and it hit the wall behind him...." Even after his passing and she just turned 80 that pan is still there.

Serious this is a true conversation
