Frybread Power: A Yummy Way To Celebrate Native Heritage! Frybread Recipe

We serve frybread in place of dinner rolls at Thanksgiving Dinner.

We also enjoy it as a dessert, topped with powdered sugar.

It’s not pre-contact food, but it’s delicious at powwows as an NDN Taco, topped with cheese, meat, beans, lettuce and tomatoes.

We usually make healthy choices, so we can enjoy frybread as a treat!

My Great-Grandma Margaret’s Frybread Recipe

• 1 teaspoon salt
• Plenty of Corn Oil to Fry It In
• 2 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 cups warm water

Directions

• Stir your flour, baking powder, and salt together in a glass mixing bowl.

• Knead the dough on floured wax paper.
• Flatten the dough into palm-size pieces.
• Fry the dough in hot oil (about 350 degrees) for 3 minutes, until it is golden brown.

We never actually used a recipe for frybread, since she cooked by the “handful” method…”a handful of this” or “a handful of that”! So, I recreated her recipe for y’all to enjoy!

Happy Native Heritage Month!
