Dutch Oven Hopi Indian Fry Bread

Dutch oven cooking: (Not exactly a low fat desert) In camp ignite about 15-20 charcoal briquets and arrange in a pile in your fire pan. Let burn until they are covered with ash (about 20 minutes) and put on the oil.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
1 tbs. baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup lukewarm water

Directions:

Stir and knead dough on floured board – cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Cut up into 8 sections – flatten out to 2 inches thick. Melt crisco or comparable vegetable oil in a dutch oven so there is about 2 inches depth of oil. Then drop sections of dough into the hot oil to fry about 2 minutes or until done. It’s like cooking donut holes. Roll in cinnamon and sugar and pig out.
