3 c. flour (either all white or 1/2 whole-wheat)
1 1/3 c. warm water
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add warm water and knead until dough is soft, but not sticky. Stretch and pat dough until thin. Tear off 1 piece at a time; poke a hole in the middle and drop into kettle of sizzling hot lard or cooking oil. Brown on both sides. Serve hot.

Sliced in two, fry bread makes delicious buns or later toasted. It is very good with honey or jam.
