  2. 2
    Gradually add about 1/2 cup of water to the dry ingredients, mixing well. Add a little more water if needed to form a stiff, cohesive dough.

    Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into squares, strips, or circles.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350ðF (175ðC).

    Carefully place the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Note

This recipe is a variation of traditional fry bread, incorporating honey for a sweeter profile. It is not the traditional savory version often served with stews.

For best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the dough to prevent it from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.

You can adjust the amount of honey to your taste preference. For a thicker drizzle, warm the honey slightly in a microwave.

If you prefer a sweeter dough, you can increase the sugar in the dough mixture slightly.

Leftover fry bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispiness before re-drizzling with honey.
