Southwestern style fried bread.

Step 1: Gather Up the Stuff or Grab and Go

I only gather up for the photo. Otherwise I would just grab and go.

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 cups milk

2 quarts oil

Step 2: Mix All

except the Crisco and milk.

Cut the Crisco (or room temp butter) in with a fork or fingers.

Warm up the milk in the microwave or pan. You should still be able to keep your finger in it or it is too HOT!

Add warm milk to dry ingredients. Stir.

Kneed 15 times to a soft ball.
