About the dish

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.
