Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
⅔ cup warm milk
2 tablespoon melted butter
Vegetable oil for frying

Topping

2 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Put self-rising flour, warm milk, and melted butter in a bowl and stir until combined. Use hands to gently knead the dough until all of the ingredients form a ball.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead a few times.
Cut the dough into eight equal pieces. Flatten each piece of dough into a thin circle about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Put about a ½ inch of oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy pot that is wide enough to fit your circles of dough. Use a thermometer and heat the oil to 365˚F. Use tongs to carefully add dough rounds (1 or 2 depending on the size of your pan) to the hot oil. Cook the fry bread for about a minute on each side until golden brown. Always monitor the temperature of the oil and stay close by the skillet.
Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Top with melted butter and honey.
