My partner, whose mother is half-French Canadian (Rivet) still makes them with left-over pie dough, but calls them "Nun's farts". They are so good!
Happy New Year everyone

On the side, my mother who was mostly English speaking in Lewiston, Maine,
married my French-Canadian Father, and spoke a butchered french to him when
she didn't want us to understand. When she made pies, she would make a
rolled concoction with the remaining dough, which was buttered, sprinkled
with sugar and cinnamon, and rolled. From our best understanding, it was
called Pette de soeurs. Now I understand that they were "Pets de Soeurs"
(farts of Sisters) and originally poke at the Catholic Church.
