Old-Time Navajo Fry Bread

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1-1⁄4 cups canned milk

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder.  Add enough milk to make a soft dough.  Turn out on floured board and knead.  Pinch off a ball of dough big enough to pat out to a 9-inch flat cake.  Heat lard or mutton tallow in heavy iron skillet and test temperature by dropping in tiny pieces of dough.  If pieces rise to top at once, and begin to brown, the fat is ready.  Fry dough until brown, then turn and brown the other side.
