Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I use the electric skillet to make these. It works well. Just be careful of the hot & splattering oil. These are also known as: Indian Fry Bread, Scones (especially in Utah) and Sopapillas.
I saw at the Puyallup Fair they just thaw the rolls in the plastic bag overnight at room temp and then take them out and stretch them thin before deep frying.
