    Is this the same as fry bread ? In New Zealand we do that and I know some areas in the US do the same as ours - check out this recipe lol 282 calories -

    Navajo Fry Bread II SUBMITTED BY: SAUNDRA PHOTO BY: PaigeCentral
    "As far as I know this is the original recipe for Navajo Bread. It's is great with honey and butter. The Navajo's put chiles, cheese, onion, lettuce and beans on it, and call them Nava Tacos."

    INGREDIENTS
    475 ml oil for frying
    500 g all-purpose flour
    30 g baking powder
    salt - 2 teaspoons
    590 ml warm milk




    DIRECTIONS
    In a large heavy bottomed frying pan, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil or lard to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and milk; mix well. When the dough has pulled together, form it into small balls and pat them flat.
    Place 3 or 4 at a time into the hot oil. When the rounds begin to bubble, flip them over and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

    Lol yes they do us proud - oops I edited this recipe so the sodium will be less - it did say 2 tablespoons but way too much so 2 x teaspoons is a bit easier to take ! It's almost the same as what we do here too but this was the only one with the nutritional info and tastes pretty good !
