Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter (not hot) to the dry ingredients and mix.

4

Warm 3/4 cup of whole milk in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until slightly warm and add it to the mixture.

Mix until a sticky dough forms, adding more milk if necessary to achieve a soft dough.

6

Knead the dough lightly, adding flour to your hands to prevent sticking.

7

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

After resting, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it out, ensuring it fits within a marked circle.

Heat oil in a Fry Daddy or deep skillet until hot.

Gently drop the flattened dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Remove the fry bread from the oil and let it drain on a rack or paper towels.
