Ingredients

For the Jigg’s Dinner

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water (or as needed)
• Butter or oil for frying
• Molasses or maple syrup for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball into a round, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil.
5. Fry the dough rounds for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve the toutons warm with molasses or maple syrup for dipping.

Notes

If you have ever tried a Canadian “Beavertail”, the Touton is similar, but the dough isn’t sweet, just the toppings.
