Native American Fry-Bread

== Ingredients ==
* 3 cup regular white flour 
* 1/2 cup dry powdered milk (I find this to be better than bottled milk) 
* 1 tbl baking powder 
* 1/2 tsp salt 
* 1/2 cup warm water 
* 2 qt vegetable oil or shortening for frying. 
== Directions ==
# Cast iron skillet is great for this frying, it holds the heat better.
# Preheat your frying oil on Medium-high, but not "smoking" hot! 
# The quicker you fry your bread, then the more tender and soft it will be.
# While your oil is heating, you can make the dough.
# Mix the dry ingredients first, then add warm water gradually and mix with hand until you get a ball of dough that is not too sticky.
# Pick off pieces of dough in the size of eggs and set them aside. You should have about 10 "eggs". 
# Hand-shape the piece of dough into a disc that can fit into your pan. or, use the rolling pin on a floured surface and roll dough out into a disc. You can prepare all the discs first or make them as you go.
# Now, fry the dough and watch closely. The frying oil should be medium-hot, but not smoking.
# Fry the bread on each side a few minutes or until it is a nice light brown.
# Use two forks to flip the bread over and be careful not to flip hot oil on yourself! 
# Drain the fry-bread on paper towels and serve immediately!
;Notes:
# It is best fresh and not very good the second day.
# You can put anything on Fry bread, butter, chile, or powdered sugar
