Hoecake, Frybread 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp shortening 2/3 cup hot water Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Use a pastry blender (or two butter knives) to cut the shortening into the flour. Add the hot water and mix until the water is incorporated. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured board. Knead the dough until it is soft and smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll each into a ball, and roll into flat discs with a rolling pin. Brush one side of each disc with melted margarine and place on a barbecue over a 3 Mississippi fire. Brush the opposing side of the bread with margarine and flip the bread on the barbecue. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Serve hot. 6
