Ingredients
- 3-4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup dry milk
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- oil canola or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat oil to 375 degrees in a frying pan or electric skillet.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl, starting with 3 cups of flour.
- Mix dough thoroughly, add more flour as needed to get a soft dough consistency.
- Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
- Roll each dough part of dough out on a floured surface making a thin circle.
- Lift it like a pizza dough off the surface.
- Fry the dough in hot oil.
- When you see the dough turning a golden brown - about 20-30 seconds. Flip over and cook the other side. It's normal to see big bubbles in the dough.Remove from oil when both sides are a golden brown. Drain off excess grease on a paper towel. Keep warm in oven (200 degrees) until ready to serve.
FOR NAVAJO TACOS
- Top fry bread with hot chili, cheese, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
FOR ELEPHANT EARS
- Brush with butter then sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and/or honey.
Notes
- You can make the dough ahead of time and store covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge overnight before frying. Make sure to bring the dough back to room temperature before frying.
- Freeze leftover scones in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to two months.
- To reheat, it’s best to wrap the scones in foil, then heat in the oven at 375 degrees for about ten minutes until hot. Open up the foil for the last five minutes to get that golden crisp crust back to perfection.
- Try frying in a heavy cast iron skillet on the stove top.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out pieces of dough on a lightly floured surface to the perfect size circles. Or just stretch the balls of dough out with your fingers before frying. To make it less sticky, spray your fingers with cooking spray.
