Navajo Fry Bread

Here is another family favorite. Navajo Fry Bread. The recipe says you can put Taco fixings or honey on them. Sometimes we like to sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar while they are nice and hot for dessert. Yum!

Navajo Fry Bread

Sift into a bowl:
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
2 t. baking powder

Stir in:
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 c. milk

Knead with your hands. Pat or roll into circles approximately 5" in diameter. With fingers make small hole in center. Fry in several inches hot oil at 400 degrees; electric skillet is convenient. Dough will puff and bubble. Turn when golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with honey, or use while fresh for Navajo Tacos.

Snack Time!

One of my favorite snacks are honey milk balls. My family also loves them. They are really fast and easy to make. Although the recipe doesn't call for chocolate, we like to sprinkle in some chocolate chips sometimes. (Are you surprised?) You can also roll them in coconut or nuts.

Honey Milk Balls

Combine in bowl:
1/2 c. honey or corn syrup
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. dry milk solids
1 c. uncooked rolled oats OR 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs.

Mix well, then knead by hand until blended. Shape into small balls. Makes 2 dozen.

They are really nice because you don't have to cook them. A perfect make and eat snack.
