Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
shortening for frying

Instructions

To make the Indian Fry Bread: Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk in a medium-sized bowl. Roll into a ball.
Divide the dough ball into 4 even-sized pieces. Turn each ball out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out. The dough should be fairly thick.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt shortening. When the oil has reached 350 degrees F place dough in skillet and fry until golden. (approximately 3 minutes)
Flip over and fry for another 3 minutes or until the other side is golden brown.
Place on a paper towel and drain off any excess grease.
To make the Indian Tacos: Fill bread with warmed ranch style beans, lettuce, onion and tomatoes. Add on shredded cheese, sour cream and black olives if desired.

Notes

This will make 4 large pieces for Indian Taco bases. Can also be made into smaller pieces to serve with cinnamon/sugar and honey.
