How to make Fry Bread

Rate: (12 Ratings)

It's at all the Pow Wows! It probably wont be as good as Syd's Cherokee Fry Bread -since his is the best in the country.. but it will work! Fry bread came about as a result of reservation commodities. This is merely a variation of an older recipe of a corn made bread that was made and stored for traveling.

on 3/9/2008 I haven't had fry bread in years! When my aunt passed, so did the fry bread (none of us learned how- we were too young). This recipe sounds so simple, I think I'll try it. Thank you!

on 1/16/2008 When I was a kid, there was a place where we could buy fry-bread in the summer, and it was always a treat! I'd forgotten about it until now- thanks for a great article, I'll have to try it tonight!
