Some pastries are so scrumptious that nothing will deter fans from tearing into one—not even giving it an off-putting name. The French-Canadian pet de soeur (“sister’s fart”) is no exception.
Québécois often bake the flaky spirals of dough during holidays. The pastry, glazed in butter, brown sugar, and occasionally cinnamon, pays crass homage to the nuns who first made it, and it’s significantly tastier than the title implies.
Regarding its name, explanations abound. Some say it stems from the sound the dough makes as it’s being fried in oil. Others tell tales of one nun’s fart causing such hysterical laughter that another sister accidentally dropped some dough in oil.
To further complicate pet de soeur’s identity, French bakers deep-fry dough puffs—akin to beignets—that go by the same name. Regardless, should you try your hand at preparing either version of this simple delight at home, be sure to yell, “It’s fart time!” when they’re ready.
Ah, the fabled Betty Crocker Codex.
IOW, what every little kid has done with leftover pie crust but this is intentional and rolled.
My mother used to make those but called them cinnamon rolls. No other mother in our hometown made them like my mother did. She was from the Grand Forks, ND area and must have picked it up from some canooks.
I dunno turquoise and red is some kinda 60s chic.
That would work in with knotty pine paneling...
It was hilarious for years...all the houses in the neighborhood had the same bizarre combination of colors. Over the years, we would get to go inside another house, this one had lime green shag carpet, that one had orange...another might have blue...all with some kind of coordinated oven and range of another wild color.
My wife and I would glance at each other when we walk in, and as our eyes met, you could easily read “These poor people! Thank God we got the red!”
Don’t you mean...
Pew!
🤣🤣🤣
