A variant spelling or regional form of fondant or fondue, used in some culinary contexts.
From French 'fondant' or 'fondu,' possibly with regional variation. This appears to be a less common spelling used in particular culinary traditions or older recipe texts.
This appears to be a real but rare variant, showing how food terminology developed differently in different regions and time periods—like how 'fondant' got spelled 'fondon' in some places the same way 'donut' and 'doughnut' coexist today.
