    Leo's "Nun Farts" was one of my Dad's favorite sweet treats when I was growing up. Loosely translated from the French Pet De Soeur. Addictive

    The name of this sweet treat Nun Farts is loosely translated from the French word "Pet De Soeur". Leo was my dad's name so there you have it, Leo's Nun Farts (aka Leo's Pet De Soeur)!

    pillsbury pie crusts

    My dad loved these things. They are super easy to make but be warned, they are addictive! I mean caramelized Brown Sugar wrapped in pie crust. Now who wouldn't love these Pet De Soeur treats?

    Don't be fooled by the name "Nun Farts" though. These super easy to make sugary treats are addictive. Like super addictive. If you need to watch your sugars as I do, moderation is key. Or maybe skipping this recipe completely!

    💭 Recipe Tip

    While easy to make, you need to make sure you roll the pie crust as tight as possible. If you don't they will unravel and all the delicious brown sugar will spill out of the pastry.

    I also suggest you press the brown sugar into the pie crust. The melted butter will help the brown sugar stick to the pie crust. Again, this will prevent the caramel filling from spilling out on the baking sheet.

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Pet de Soeur (aka Nun Farts) recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Pie Crust Dough, Unsalted Butter, Light Brown Sugar and Milk.

    🥣 How to Make these Nun Farts

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    Roll out pie crust to form a circle. Butter pastry with a thin coat of butter. Put a layer of brown sugar over the butter, making sure you cover the entire pie crust.
    Roll the pastry to make a long roll (like a cigar), and squeeze the ends tightly so the ingredients don't leak out when cooked. Brush the pastry with milk, making sure the finished edge is on the bottom.
    Using a sharp knife cut approximately 1-inch pieces and lay each piece on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
    Bake until pastry is golden brown (15 to 18 minutes). Let cool for approximately 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.

      Thank you so much for sharing. My mom would make these every year at Easter and Christmas with left over pie dough. When I was young, I went to a french school and my grade 8 teacher was a nun, I remember bringing them into school as a lunch treat one day, she asked me what they were and when I told her she laughed! She got such a kick out of it!
