Brioche Toutons with Blueberry Honey Sauce

Brioche Toutons with Blueberry Honey Sauce 

Here’s a very successful experiment that I tried last week when making brioche for a bread pudding I had planned for a dinner party. Here in Newfoundland we love our “toutons” which are  pieces of white bread dough, traditionally fried in fat back pork.

The brioche dough needs to be fried at a lower temperature than regular toutons because of the sugar content; they will brown much faster.

I usually fry mine in an olive oil/butter combination these days. Find my original touton recipe here.

I fried these at 325 degrees F. The blueberry honey sauce is a very simple but very delicious addition to these fancified toutons which turn out almost like homemade donuts. Well worth the try.
