I grew up in Northern Minnesota and Indian fry bread, wild rice, wild game and fish, wild berries and other native foods were often on our menu. I still love to make wild rice dishes and other traditional foods.This is one of my ways of remembering this part of my history and honoring the culture and traditions of the Ojibwe people in Minnesota.
Here is the Indian Fry Bread recipe that my mother made when I was young---and still makes when we request it.
Mom's Indian Fry Bread

2 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg
1/2 c. warm water or milk
Sift first three ingredients together and stir in beaten egg. Add water or milk to make soft dough. Round up on lightly floured cloth or bread board. Knead lightly. Roll or pat out 1/2 inch thick. Cut into strips about 2 x 3 inches and cut slit in center of each strip. Drop into deep, simmering, fat. Brown on both sides. Serve hot.
