Bread (Fried) - Seneca Ghost Bread

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Bread (Fried) - Seneca Ghost Bread

Post by Chowhound »

2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup dry milk
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup lard

In a bowl combine all except the shortening or lard. Mix until batter is smooth. In a skillet heat shortening or lard on medium heat till melted. Using a wooden spoon scoop a large spoon full from the bread batter and place it in the shortening. Let cook about 30 seconds or until bottom is firm enough to slip spatula under and flip over. Carefully turn the dough over and press with spatula to flatten. You may have to press it down several times. When it gets light brown around the edges turn it over and cook till edges are browned. Serve warm or place in baggies after cooling and eat as desired.
