Portuguese
Fry Bread
This
is very similar to a yeasted fry bread. It uses baking powder for leavening
instead of yeast. It is best served hot and we think with syrup or jam.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose
flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
Directions
1. In a medium bowl,
whisk the
flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Add the milk and stir
with a fork until combined. You will probably need to remove the dough
to the counter and knead the ingredients together to get a smooth dough.
2. Form patties three to four inches in diameter and 3/8-inches thick.
3. Fill a frying pan with vegetable oil to about 3/4-inches deep. Heat
the oil to medium-high. Cook the patties until golden brown, turning
once.
Baker’s
note: If your temperature is too high, the bread will
not be cooked clear through before the outer surface burns.
