| My Recipes |
| This is a page of my favorite recipes that I have acquired over the years from various Family members, Friends, and Neighbors. Hopefully there is something here for everyone. |
| I thought that I would start of with a couple of recipes given to me by a friend of mine who is a Makah Indian, here in Washington state, up north in Neah Bay. |
| Indian Buckskin Bread 1 1/2 cups flour 2 heaping tsps. of baking powder 2 heaping TSBLS. of shortening 1 tsp. salt water as needed Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add salt and shortening. Mix up well with hands. Add water until dough is soft. Knead dough on floured cookie sheet. Shape dough into one large, long, flat loaf. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve hot with butter and jam. |

| Indian Fry Bread 2 cups flour 4 tsps. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2/3 cup warm water Combining flour, baking power and salt, add water to make the dough the consistency of bread. Tear off balls of dough. Roll out on a lightly dusted board with flour until each ball is flat and thin. Punch a hole in the center of each piece. Fry one at a time in hot fat, 2 or 3 inches deep. Drain on a towel. |

| The old saying: You can take the girl out of New England, but you can't take the New England out of the girl. New England was where I was born and raised. When I left home I took a lot with me. My New England heritage recipes are made often at our house. Try them sometime. You might just enjoy them. |

Add salt and pepper. 4. Baked, covered, 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is almost fork-tender; add boiling onions. Bake 20 minutes longer, or until meat is fork-tender. Remove roast and onions to warm serving platter. 5. Strain pan liquid, discarding particles. Skim fat off liquid. In small bowl, combine flour and 1/2 cup water, stirring until smooth. 6.
