I was looking for something similar to what I had in a restaurant years ago with taco toppings. This was nothing like that. These were heavy and tasteless. As they cooled they turned hard. I guess I am just a biscuits and scones type of gal.

Brilliant! This was easy and tasted fab. We used the frybread for navajo tacos for dinner and later when my 10 yo was running around the backyard playing night games with the neighbor kids, I used up the rest of the dough to make small frybreads, sprinkled them with powdered sugar and the kids inhaled them. One boy even proclaimed he would come over and pay me $10 for 10 of them. LOL! So, yes, these are definitely worth making. I also doubled the salt like some suggested.

Made this tonight to go with dinner and they came out great. The key is to make sure the oil is hot enough. They are great with honey.

My neighbors are into Native American culture, but not really into cooking, and have been asking if I can make this- now I can! I took a batch to them, and they said it's exactly what they remember from living in Arizona. Yay!

These were good, and very easy to make. I used whole wheat pastry flour to up the nutritional value somewhat (considering they're fried!) When done draining on the paper toweling, but while still warm, I drizzled butter over the top, and sprinkled a cinnamon/sugar mixture over the butter. These were wonderful served with breakfast.

On the indian reservation they make thesefor Pow Wows topped wih Chili, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. They make the size of a 7-8 inch paper plate. I know they put cream of tarter in them as well. I tried it this time with the recipe as stated, next time I'm gonna put equal parts cream of tarter and some sugar to sweeten them up.

Very easy and quite tasty just as it is. I use this recipe to make some delicious Indian tacos with refried beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. My family begs me to make this dish. I personally found that over working it does make the texture chewier, however, the finished product is less greasy and easier to handle so, I purposely over knead it.

This is a great fry bread recipe. But its not just Native North American cuisine;) Eastern Europeans eat the same thing with versions slightly modified depending on family traditions and country. I would love to see (more like eat) a fry bread showdown between one Bosnian grandmother vs. one Navajo grandmother:)Happy Eating!!

This recipe really lacks any flavor and why not just fry up a tube of premaid biscuits.

I usually make my bread without a recipe, because I have made it for since I was a small child, this is the closest recipe that I have found, I will just adapt it to the way I make it, if i am making fry bread for Indian Tacos i do not use sugar, if I am just making it to make to have with butter and jam I use sugar, and sometimes yeast to make it really fluffy, just remember not to over knead or your kids will have Native footballs ha ha,I usually let my dough rest while my oil or grease is getting hot,just remember fry bread is distinctive food and as native cook and live in Washington, from Montana, fry bread is a food that was made from commodities that were given to us Native's by the US government, we did not have all the extra stuff people are using now, depending on where you live and are from U.S. or Canada you have fry bread or Bannock, Bannock from Canada is made with bacon grease usually, and U.S. made is usually Flour, Salt, Baking Powder, there are some changes with different tribes,some use, powdered milk, maybe yeast,sugar and sometimes baking soda, we didn't have ice water, and kosher salt etc.. , Fry Bread is Fry Bread totally native style, and yes you can use chili con carne as a topper to make tacos, split it and make Indian Burgers, roll the dough around a hot dog make Indian Dogs, or you can top it with pizza sauce and your favorite cheese and pizza toppings you have a Indian pizza, fry bread is adaptable as the stuff used to make it, have fun and en

it was ok, but i still prefer rhodes rolls that have been stretched out a bit and fried up. I found this recipe to be a bit tough and flavorless.

I've had better, but perhaps this is the most authentic in that it uses shortening/lard and water. Slightly heavy. It does taste much better made with milk. Went well with the chile verde from this site.

Very good basic recipe. I tried it with part wheat flour which also turned out very good. I disagree with the yield being 12. But I also like to make them larger for Navajo tacos in which case I would say the yield is more like 6-8. For anyone saying that they turned out hard and/or crisp, they probably stretched the dough out too thin. I did this on my first one, so the next one I didn't stretch out as much and it was perfect. Very tasty.

This is such an easy and great recipe that my 13 year old has it mastered after 1 try. She made "Indian Tacos" for the family plus guests and had rave reviews. I have been using this recipe for several years and decided that it deserves a top notch review, if my kids are able to get the same results with it. Everyone wants a copy of the recipe. Try it out!

This was good. I was going to rate it a 4 due to the slight baking powder taste I detected, but my daughter insisted that I rate it a 5!! I wonder if I should have let it rest a while before forming patties and frying- the ones I did last puffed up a little more than the first ones I fried. All of my kids loved these. We had these for dinner with Veggie Vegetarian Chili.
