3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons Baking powder (slightly rounded)
3/4 cups milk
Water as needed to get dough to come together
Vegetable shortening or lard for frying
Directions:
Directions:
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Stir with fork as you poor in the milk; keep stirring for a bit to get it to mix well. Add just enough water to get the dough to come together (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup). Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let it sit for 35 to 45 minutes to rest.

When you're ready to make the fry bread, heat about 1 to 2 inches shortening/lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grab a plum-sized piece of dough (or larger if you want larger fry bread) and press it into a circle with your fingers: place it on a floured surface and begin pressing in the center and work your way out, stretching it as you go.

When the circle is about 4 to 7 inches(however big you want it), carefully drape it into the skillet. Allow it to fry on one side until golden brown, about one minute, then carefully flip over with tongs. Fry it for another 30 to 45 seconds.

Remove the fry bread to a paper towel lined plate and allow to drain while you fry the other pieces.

Serve warm with honey or syrup while warm.
