It’s Fair season, and what is better than Fry Bread at the fair?  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour 
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 1 cup water 
  • Enough oil to deep fry the dough

Instructions

  1. Mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Then add the water and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for a few minutes on a floured surface. Then let it rest for 30 minutes to 60 minutes.
  2. Cut the dough into small equal pieces. Roll them out on a floured surface in a disc, until they are 1/4th inch thick. I make them about 4 inches in diameter.
  3. Pour the oil into a large pot until it is about 1 inch to 1.5 inches deep. Heat it on medium heat until it reaches 350 F.
  4. Fry the dough for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side until nice and golden brown on each side. Then place them on a paper towel-lined plate or on a wire rack. Finish frying the rest.
  5. Once done, top with maple syrup, butter, jelly, powdered sugar, honey, or your favorite sweet seasoning. 
  6. You can also try as a base for taco toppings, like beans, meat, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, etc.
