Although it is not an ancient recipe, it only dates back to the 1800s. When the Sioux were forced onto the reservations and had no food the USA government gave them scks of flour. The Sioux had never seen European flour and did not know what to do with it. They tried different things to do with it and this worked.
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 3 cups of flour
* 1 cup warm water
Directions
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add warm water in small amounts and knead until soft but not sticky.
Adjust the flour or water as needed, Cover aand let stand 15 to 20 minutes.
Pull of large egg sized balls of dough, turn out into fairly thin rounds.
Fry rounds in hot oil until bubbles appear on the dough, turn over and fry on the other side until golden brown.
