A lowly unleavened bread that's a staple in Native American kitchens and is a symbol of unity and resilience.
Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. It should be ball of soft dough. Let it rest for 1-2 hours.
Break off golf ball sized pieces of the dough and roll it into a ball.
Using your hands, flatten it out and set aside. Heat 2 inches of the oil to 350 degrees.
Carefully lay the bread into the hot oil, cooking as many as you can without crowding the pan.
Cook for about 2 -3 minutes, then, using tongs, flip it and cook another couple of minutes. It should be golden brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels.
Repeat until all pieces are cooked.
Sprinkle with salt or cinnamon sugar while it's draining. Makes a perfect morning coffee treat or served as a side with soup or stew - like the Three Sisters Stew.
