Toutin

Toutin (or Tiffin) is a Newfoundland term for a dough cake fried in fat and made from fresh bread dough which was normally in excess of the amount needed to fill loaf pans. It has many terms and spelling depending on the community in which people of Newfoundland were from. Some of the more common spellings of "toutin" is "toutan", "touten", "touton", and "towtent" [ [http://www.heritage.nf.ca/dictionary/azindex/pages/5109.html Newfoundland Dictionary] ] . It also had some colorful names such as "damper dogs" or "damper devils" which was in direct reference to how the toutin was cooked, on the damper of a stove fueled by natural combustible materials such as firewood and coals.

Depending on where one is in the province, there are many other colorful names including fantails, ghandis, posies etc.
