    Default Old Fashioned: Fry Breads / Campfire Breads /Flat Breads

    Anyone else making the old fashioned Fry Breads
    Navajo/Apache
    Hoe Cakes
    Johnny Cakes

    Etc: Etc:

    Been messing with various versions for the past couple of years
    Not only "Fry" breads but just about anything that you cook without an oven, especially the ones made in Hot Iron or over a fire

    Bannock
    Flat Breads


    Anyone else ???

    Every culture seems to have their version and name.

    The Mrs. and the Daughter have been doing some on occasion. The Fry bread is kinda sweet.

    I usually make up a batch of pre-mixed bannock for camping. Cooking over the campfire seems to attract a lot of attention from neighbouring sites.

    Do you count dumplings cooked on top of the stew or chili in the Dutch oven?

    In the past I have made fry bread and sopapillas, but the thing I really like is hot water cornbread cooked in lard.

    In these parts native americans sell fry bread on the roadside. They are famous for it.

    I have had bannock on the local reserve but don't know if they sell it. Can be good with in season fresh blue berries.

    Navajo fry bread appears to have a very bitter/sweet background. Seems it was first concocted with what the US government gave them as they were forced off their land.

    I've never made it but I have made hushpuppys which seem to have their own sordid history.
