You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Canadian cuisine))
'''Fried dough''' is a [[North America]]n food associated with outdoor food stands in [[carnival]]s, [[amusement parks]], [[fairs]], [[rodeos]], and [[seaside resort]]s.  "Fried dough" is the specific name for a particular variety of fried bread made of a yeast dough; see the accompanying images for an example of use on carnival-booth signs. Fried dough is also known as '''fry dough''', '''[[Frybread|fry bread]]''' ([[Bannock (British food)|bannock]]), '''fried bread''', '''doughboys''', '''elephant ears''', '''beaver tails, scones''', '''pizza fritte''',  '''frying saucers''', and '''''[[buñuelos]]''''' (in the case of smaller pieces). These foods are virtually identical to each other and some yeast dough versions of [[beignet]]s, and recognizably different from other [[list of fried dough foods|fried dough foods]] such as [[doughnut]]s or [[fritter]]s.

==Regional variants==
In [[Canadian cuisine]], pieces of fried dough are sometimes called '''((visible anchor|beaver tails))'''.  According to Bill Castleman, a writer of books on Canadian word origins, the name referred to quick-baked dough "especially in early 19th-century places where people might camp for one night and where there was no frying pan."<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.billcasselman.com/canadian_food_words/cfw_five.htm|title=Canadian Food Words|author=Bill Castleman|access-date=2006-12-17|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061206191919/http://www.billcasselman.com/canadian_food_words/cfw_five.htm|archive-date=2006-12-06))</ref><ref>Russell Frank (1898) [https://books.google.com/books?id=iEwlAAAAMAAJ&dq=Explorations%20in%20the%20Far%20North&pg=PA39 Explorations in the Far North] University of Iowa. p. 39.</ref> In 1978, Pam and Grant Hooker of Ottawa, Ontario, founded the [[BeaverTails]] chain of restaurants specializing in the sale of fried dough pastries which are hand stretched to the shape of a beaver's tail. 

In [[Newfoundland and Labrador|Newfoundland]], a province in Eastern Canada, fried dough is referred to as a "[[touton]]". A touton /ˈtaʊtən is produced by frying bread dough on a pan with butter or the leftover fat from "[[Pork rind|scrunchions]]" (fried preserved pork) and served with dark [[molasses]], [[maple syrup]], or [[corn syrup]]. It is traditionally made from leftover bread dough and pan-fried, as opposed to deep-fried.

A smaller [[Italian cuisine|Italian]] variant common in North America is the ''[[zeppole]].''

Similar food is found in Europe, also typically from outdoor stands in fairs. For example, in [[Croatian cuisine|Croatia]], fried dough is known as ''languši'', in [[Hungarian cuisine|Hungary]] as [[lángos]], in [[Austrian cuisine|Austria]] as [[kiachl]], in [[German cuisine|Germany]] as [[Knieküchle]] while the [[oliebol]] is eaten in the [[Dutch cuisine|Netherlands]]. In north Spain is typical of Carnival season and has a spiritual connection with it, just like 'roscón' in Christmas or 'arroz con leche' in Easter.

A type of soft, fried dough ball frequently coated in sugar can be found in some Chinese restaurants in New York. These dough balls are referred to by any one of a number of names, including but not necessarily limited to "sugar biscuits", "Chinese doughnuts", or the simpler "fried bread".

Turkic countries in Central Asia also have a similar food called [[Boortsog]] or [[Pişi]].

In New Zealand and other areas such as Hawaii,<ref>((Cite web |title=Parāoa Parai (Māori Fried Bread) - Kaʻiwakīloumoku - Hawaiian Cultural Center |url=https://kaiwakiloumoku.ksbe.edu/article/recipes-paraoa-parai-maori-fried-bread |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=kaiwakiloumoku.ksbe.edu |language=en))</ref> the [[Māori people]] cook Parāoa Parai,<ref>((Cite web |title=Paraoa parai Fry bread |url=https://www.newworld.co.nz/recipes/baking/paraoa-parai-fry-bread |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=www.newworld.co.nz |language=en))</ref> a fry bread that is a traditional part of a [[Matariki]] feast.

==Preparation==
Fried dough is made by [[deep frying|deep-frying]] a portion of risen [[yeast]] dough. The dough acquires an irregular, bubbly appearance from being fried.

The dough may then be sprinkled with a variety of toppings, such as granulated sugar, [[powdered sugar]], [[cinnamon]], fruit sauce, [[chocolate sauce]], [[cheese]], [[maple syrup]], [[whipped cream]], [[tomato sauce]] (with optional grated [[Parmesan]] cheese), [[garlic butter]], [[lemon juice]], [[honey]], [[butter]], [[nut (fruit)|nuts]], or a combination of these or even served with ice cream.
