      Don't know, my family never used dried milk, we used our dried milk for the baby lambs N kids. My mom made the best frybread, she barely touched the bread when she shaped it, she only used flour, baking powder N salt.

    I've known many Navajo over the years. My foster daughter is full Navajo raised just south of Page. She was with us during the school year, and home in Az. During the summer. Sandy taught me how her family made fry bread. It is the same except she added one or two eggs depending one how big a batch. I never mastered the way she mixed it. She used two fingers and would pull the flour somehow that was moist up over the center well of liquid. It was so well mixed and perfect by the time all the flour was mixed in, it reminded me of a friend who made French pastries and her fine doughs.
    Like all cooks we all add our signatures. A little of this and a little of that. There is no one exact way, but the one you like best. Your mom is cute and the same height as my mom. Now show us how to do mutton to go with the fry bread!

    I lived in Grants, NM for 6 years and worked at the hospital. They made fry bread and beans on Fridays and we had people come to the hospital to eat lunch. Also, there were Fry bread stands along I-40 that people stopped at during the day. I'm back in Texas and do miss it for sure.

    Enjoyed this video so very much! Your Mother is such a joy. Love & joy just radiates from her being. I totally understand about your upbringing. I am a Cherokee from eastern Okkahoma. We had wood stoves, drew water by hand from a well, had an outhouse, etc. I believe our parents generation were some of the toughest people ever! We now have all the modern conveniences and dearly love them. Lol

    Thank you for this! We just got back from Four Corners and I had my first Navajo fry bread there and I have been craving it ever since!!! I tried a recipe that I had found, but according to this video I did everything wrong! Haha! I used all purpose flour instead of bread flour and added WAY too much flour (my dough was more like tortilla dough) AND I kneaded it instead of just mushing it with her hands like your sweet grandma did. Thank you!!!

    Your channel just popped up in my feed and the word “Navajo” got my attention, so I decided to click on it and I’m so glad I did. Not only did I enjoy your Mom’s spirit and sense of humor, I also learned a little about your culture and early childhood.
    In Jamaica, we use the same dough to make fried dumplings which are a lot smaller than fry bread and not nearly as flat. The difference with the ingredients is, we add baking powder to the mixture to make the dumplings rise when they’re fried. These dumplings are predominantly breakfast food.

    My mom made it without the powdered milk and a little smaller, about 1/3 of the size. We called it fried bread dough. We ate it like a dessert with sugar sprinkled on top. Sooo good!

    What a fun video! When I worked for the State of New Mexico - the cafeteria would make Navajo Fry Bread - the line was long ... they made taco's with them. I am from the Pacific NW and our fry bread is totally different. It seams much faster to make but I gotta say It's the BEST - I'm sure it depends on where you grow up. Thank you! I really enjoyed.

    How amazing to see a Mama and Son do a cooking show together. She makes that Fry Bread dough with a lot of patience and love. I can tell I have to work on developing my patience while kneading it, not try to rush it so fast. Oh...and, Mama is right... they were paid off! LOL Thank you for sharing this moment! Now, I'm off to the kitchen to make some.

    Although I was born in New Mexico, I moved away before I was old enough to remember it. Since then I lived in Oklahoma for a while, and for the majority of my life in Texas. Sometimes I think I have missed out on a lot not having stayed in NM, like fry bread, for example; I’ve never had any. I am eager to try to make some on my own. Thank you for this video and for the great stories in it, too! Everything about it was heart warming!

    Thank you very much! God bless your mom and family. I will be trying it this way. We make something similiar but it is more watery when we fry it. Loved hearing some of the culture.

    I so appreciate this video! I have a friend in Bosque Farms, NM and she has a local restaurant near her house: Sopas. I had my first Navajo taco there and it was delicious!! The fry bread was amazing. I drove through the reservation as you describe it: New Mexico, Arizona and Utah as I headed back home to Northern Nevada. I loved hearing about your tiny home with the dirt floors; you made the most of it and your home was full of love. It shows in your relationship with your mom and the kids! When I was a kid we lived in the Mojave Desert in a two room rock house on a section (1 mile by 1 mile) of land. We rented it. No electricity or running water for us, but we had a spring fed concrete cistern outside and a propane refrigerator. My dad started working with the Sheriffs department and made $300 a month. We ate a lot of wild rabbits and chukkar. Mom fed the family on $10 a week. She paid the grocer 25¢ a dozen for any cracked eggs with the membrane intact. We, like you, had a lot of love in our house too! Dad had a native (indigenous, or first people) friend who worked mining ceramic clay dust. He hired Dad for some extra income. Dad’s hands would be so worn out that they would crack and bleed. I remember (I was also 5 years old) Mother taping his bleeding hands up to send him off on his patrolling the highway. It was a good, clean life. No tv, no crime, just sunshine and clean air. We kids were half wild.
