I love chicken and dumplings. My mother made them when I was growing up and I loved the light pillowy dumplings atop the homemade chicken noodle soup. Yum! 

I made them for my children when they were young too.

Indian Fry Bread

Our dear friend, Beverly Harrison, taught a group of women in Ibapah, UT how to make fry bread the authentic Goshute Indian way. 

Oh how we love her for teaching us. 

Oh how we love our fry bread.

Oh how we love our Indian tacos. 

It is usually mistakenly called Navajo tacos or Navajo fry bread because every Native American tribe has fry bread and tacos.

Indian Fry Bread 

4 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups (or more) HOT tap water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

vegetable oil for frying

Mix flour, salt and baking powder. Add water gradually while mixing with hands. The dough will be slimely like snot. Let rest for several hours at room temp. Pour vegetable oil over top. DO NOT mix it in. Carefully stretch out a ball of dough and fry in very hot oil until golden brown on each side.
