`Still here Horsey? Any luck snagging your native guy? They like frybread and then you can take the next step......good luck...haha!

this is the way I make mine...

4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cube butter
1 1/2 cup warm milk or water (depends on what you have on hand)

mix the flour and baking powder in one bowl, then if you want your bread more light and fluffy hand mix the butter and sugar until it is totally mixed and warm. Add the flour mixture, sugar mixture and milk together to make your dough.

Let the dough sit a minute while you warm the oil in your pan or iron skillet. to make sure the oil is the right temp flick a bit of water drops on it. if they "dance" on the oil it's ready. then hand pat and form the dough. My grandmother used to tell me to "smack it around" lol to make sure that it is not sticky before you start forming it into flattened rounds.

If you find the dough is still too sticky to patty out after sitting a minute just add a little flour at a time 'til you can pat it out.

put it in the hot oil until it is light golden brown turning it occasionally, then pull it out and lay it on some paper towels to cool.

Ps... canola oil seems to do best. Good Luck

Ok, now I'm curious. I assume that thing in the picture is a piece of frybread. What's the brown stuff on the first layer on top of the bread? I'm a vegetarian, but that looks great. The first time I ever heard of it was on a movie called Smoke Signals. There is a recipe website called Recipe Zaar, or Recipezaar however you spell it. I think you can get Native American recipes there too.

`SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! !!! hey, but I think the picture on the post is called a taco salad and the "brown stuff" is called beef with taco seasoning..if you're talking about maddpassion anyway......shell on bottom, beef on top

[gairbear7]

`Ha Ha....."the brown stuff is called beef".....now thats funny stuff !!...but yes the brown stuff is ground cow with some taco seasoning substance, the green stuff is lettuce, the yellow stuff is cheese and is top with the red stuff we know as tomatoes and we called this thing a indin taco but if your a veggie then you could use refried beans as the "brown stuff"...Now talk about more "brown stuff" ....but thats a whole new subject we won't discuss.

`yeeesssssssssss...eeewww

It looked like taco salad, but judging from some of the other recipes, it could have been a lot of things. Like NUT stew!?! Did you notice how many users on this site got deleted? What is it about this site where all the users are getting deleted left right and center? And a news guy requested to talk to me re: an article on niche dating sites. I ignored him. He should be interviewing people on the mime dating site. chatting up mimes is weird. Chatting up Native Americans is not THAT out of the ordinary. Frybread looks like pita bread or that bread people from India eat.

`Okay, I admit I am guilty of this short cut but it turns out every time. The first time I tried to make frybread with my families recipe,I cried because it didn't turn golden brown like they said it would. Use self rising flour, milk, and warm water. Important, make sure your oil is hot but not too hot or they won't cook all the way through and no one likes doughy frybread, or crunchy for that matter, lol. I make better homemade biscuits, though. Good luck, if horse angel ever comes back if not than whoever. Oh,murky do you notice that even though these users get deleted we still go on and on and their not even here, lol. I do think frybread looks like the bread the India people eat.

I always wonder how people can eat an indian taco without refried beans. Hamburger isn't all that sticky and rolls off the taco when your trying to eat it. Smear some refried beans across the bread and that beef sits snuggly on the taco and you can pick it up and eat it like a piece of pizza.

Most people say "I don't like refried beans". Whats not to like? even worse is people who eat ONLY hamburger on their frybread.

`About the account deletions...I believe it's mostly people deleting themselves and not the site deleting them. Of the ones I've known..and speaking for myself too anyway.

`When I make frybread, I include yeast. But I found that there are so many different ways to make frybread. So frybread recipe differs from region to region. I may be able to make a donut out of frybread dough. I like being creative though. I grew up with cooking activities since my parents used to run a restuarant business. Cooking is one of my fond pastimes. Cooking is fun!
