This recipe may be used in place of conventional taco shells for "Navajo Tacos" (topped with taco meat, beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc.), or served warm sprinkled with powdered sugar or honey.
3 to 4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
Cooking oil or Lard
Mix dry ingredients with warm milk until well blended. Place in an oiled bowl and allow to rest at least 30 minutes. When dough has rested, divide into 10 to 12 pieces. Roll out or pat pieces into rough circles on lightly floured surface. Cut a small slit or hole in the center of each circle. Heat oil or lard in either a cast iron dutch oven or skillet until oil is hot. Drop one or two pieces of dough in hot oil, cooking until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side.) Drain well on paper towels. Keep warm in 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
