Miss Dissie's Indian Fry Bread

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. - 1 John 2:19-20

This was absolutely delicious, made honey butter and slathered it on while it was still warm!!!

You can slice these or just pull a chunk off!!

Theses would be good with cream cheese and fig preserves!

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon seasoning salt or 1 teaspoon table salt

1 cup steaming tap water ( I used warm tap water)

vegetable oil (for frying)

Mix ingredients together with a fork in a medium bowl. (will be sticky).

Liberally grease your hands with vegetable oil and shape dough into a ball. Leave dough in bowl and cover with a towel and set in warm place for atleast 20 minutes, but leaving longer makes the bread fluffier.

When you are ready to make the bread, heat vegetable oil, atleast 1 inch deep or deeper in a frying pan or electric skillet. (around 375 degrees) Test a small ball of dough in grease, it should float in grease, not sit on the bottom, if it doesn't immediately float, oil is not hot enough.

When oil is ready, grab a ball of dough a little bigger than a golf ball and stretch out in your greased hands until dough is flattened out about the size of a large cookie. Poke a small hole in the center of the dough with your fingers, and carefully lay in the hot oil.

Let dough brown to a golden brown before turning over and frying other side.

Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship.

18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
