Traditional Newfoundland Touton
A traditional Newfoundland dish, toutons are small pieces of fried bread dough that are typically served as a side dish, often with scrunchions (small pieces of fried salted pork fat) and molasses. They are a staple in many Newfoundland households and are often served at family gatherings and special occasions. The combination of the crispy, golden-brown bread and the savory, sweet flavors of the scrunchions and molasses is a match made in heaven.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten slightly into a disk shape.
5
Heat a large frying pan with about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the toutons and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Remove the toutons from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with scrunchions and molasses.
