Touton is a traditional Newfoundland and Labrador dish, often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack. It consists of pan-fried dough, sometimes topped with molasses or syrup, offering a sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup water warm
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine for frying
- to taste molasses or syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it lightly until smooth, for about 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small, flat rounds, about the size of a palm.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry each dough round until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve hot, topped with molasses or syrup as desired.
