I discovered these pastries in Northern Quebec last summer and it's based on an old French Quebec recipe. The French term "Pets De Soeur" translates into "Nun's Farts". Despite the name they are delicious!

As the pastry cooks, the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon melt to the bottom and once cooled, harden back up into a delicious crust.

Steps

1

Mix together flour and salt.
2

Cut the lard with two knives or a pastry cutter into the flour. The finished consistency should be similar to dry oatmeal.
3

In a measuring cup lightly beat the egg and add the vinegar to it. Add enough cold water to make 1 cup of the mixture. Gradually stir the liquid into the flour/lard mixture. Only add enough of the liquid to make the dough cling together.
4

Divide the dough into 3 balls and wrap 2 of them in wax paper or plastic wrap. These 2 can be frozen for future use, you will only need 1 for this recipe.
5

Using a rolling pin, roll the ball of dough out on a floured surface to form a large rectangle. If you find the dough too sticky to work with it can be cooled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours prior to rolling it out.
6

Liberally coat the dough rectangle with butter, then coat with brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon.
7

Roll the dough up like a tight jelly roll to form a long tube that is 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Cut the tube into 1 to 2 inch sections and stack these section on a pie plate vertically. You want to pack them together fairly close so they are all touching.
8

Bake at 350°F for 40 to 55 minutes, the time will depend on how many Pets De Soeurs you have on the pie plate. They will be done when they are bubbly and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Break off individual rolls and enjoy!
