Still a sort of fat found in fried bread (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hushpuppy

'fried bread' is the definition.

'still a sort of fat' is the wordplay.
'still' becomes 'hush' ('hush' can be a synonym of 'still').
'a sort of fat' becomes 'puppy' (puppy fat).
'hush'+'puppy'='HUSHPUPPY'

'found in' is the link.
