Pets de sœurs
Pets de sœur, literally nun's (or sister's) farts and sometimes euphemistically translated as nun's pastries or brown sugar rolls, are French-Canadian pastries filled with butter and brown sugar which are rolled, sliced and then baked.

Although they are filled with cinnamon and butter, like cinnamon rolls or buns, they are made with pastry rather than yeast (risen bread).[1]
They are often served during the Christmas season. A variation uses molasses instead of brown sugar, or caramel sauce or maple syrup can also be substituted.[2] A tart can also be made with pets de sœurs.[3]
Pet de sœur are sometimes confused with a different pastry: pets-de-nonne or "Nun's puffs".
