Touton (or toutin)[3] is a traditional dish from Newfoundland, made with risen bread dough. The dish has a long list of regionally-distinct names, and can refer to two (or more) different types of baked or fried dough: the dough cake variant, usually fried; and a baked bun variant, made with pork fat.[3] Toutons are usually served at breakfast or brunch and are on the breakfast menus of many local restaurants.
