As promised, here is the recipe for making delicious Pets de Nonne (thank you, Google, for coming to my rescue again as I had no idea how to spell this yesterday!) This is traditional French Canadian fair and a very tasty way to use leftover pastry.
Begin by rolling out your leftover pastry scraps into a rectangular-ish shape. (Just in case you start to wonder if there is something wrong with my camera, I use a whole wheat pastry dough, so the darker colour and brown flecks are just a part of this pastry’s character.)
Then butter the pastry with softened butter and sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon (like making cinnamon toast). I also added a sprinkle of cloves to mine, just because I love the taste of cloves!
Starting at the bottom, roll up your pastry.
Slice into rounds.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until the sugar has caramelized and the pastry is cooked – about 15 minutes? Remove from the pan and enjoy! (Tip: the melted sugar will make a mess of your cookie sheet, but I find it no problem to clean up with a little hot water)
When I gave one to my husband yesterday he said that they caused “a flavour explosion in his mouth.” Can’t go wrong with that!
Here is a fun fact: My French Canadian Grandmother says that translated, “Pets de Nonne” means “Nun’s Farts.” So there you have it. Now you can make tasty and delicious farts anytime you want.
