this seems very similar to a Newfoundland delicacy called Toutons. It's eseentially bread dough that is cut into "clumps" for lack of a better word and fried up in the pan. You then serve them with ample amounts of molasses. These things are so simple yet some of my favourite foods and I'm VEE's Fry Bread would be just as good, and maybe even easier to make (don't have to make actual bread dough)
