Pets de sœurs

Visually reminiscent of cinnamon rolls, pets de sœurs (lit. sister’s farts or nun’s farts) are French Canadian pastries with an unappetizing name. They consist of flaky pie crust dough that is rolled up with a paste of brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. However, there are a few varieties, so brown sugar can be replaced with molasses or maple syrup. These sweet treats are especially popular during the festive Christmas season.
