Here is my recipe for

Fry Bread

2 pound lard or 2 qt oil
3 c sifted flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 c warm water, about

Melt lard in 5 qt deep pot.
Combine next 3 ingredients in large bowl. Add warm water in small amounts and knead dough until soft but not sticky. Use more/less water as necessary.
Cover and let stand about 15 minutes.

Pull off large egg-sized balls of dough and roll out into rounds about 1/4" thick. Punch hole in center of each round, piercing several times with fork, to allow dough to puff.

In a heavy skillet, fry rounds in lard or other shortening until bubbles appear on dough, turn over and fry on other side until golden.
