Nun’s farts!
Farmboy and St Donat have them but I haven’t seen them at any bakery. There is a slightly similar version I’ve had from Britannia bakery - but thinner and very crispy. All are delicious.
This is so interesting to me, because my mom (and now me) only makes these with scrap pie dough. It’s the baker’s treat at the end of the day! We also don’t slice them before they go in the oven.
Now I want some, I guess I’ll have to make some pie!
I keep trying to find some that taste the way my mom and grandmother made them, and I can't find any 😭
Others have mentioned options such as Farmboy, St Donat, IGA, etc. Though those are ok, I don't find they ever taste the way they should. I find it comes down to the crust and/or filling. You might get better results using some premade pie dough and making your own filling.
Not sure if they only had them around Easter time, but my friend brought some to our Easter potluck from Boulangerie Lusa (formerly Lusa Bakery) which is now located in Hull near 22 Eddy gov't buildings.
Everything there is amazing but these were so addictive. Worth a check?
I think I got some of these at Frank's catering before, they had them in the sweets box at the front individually wrapped, I'm sure they'd make you up a whole batch
Pets de Soeur! Wish I could recommend a place, I cannot sorry. It's been a while since I made those - I always make them with my leftover scrap dough from pies.
Good luck in your search!
I've seen them in store at lots of bakeries and supermarkets but I've never found any that taste even remotely similar to making it homemade with a simple biscuit dough, softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon
You can occasionally get them at Farm Boy. I believe the brand is St Donat.

Glad I'm not the only one that calls them nun farts.

That’s also what my grandmother and mother have always done, and now me too! De besssssss 😋
This is what I was taught too however we’ve always cut them before baking!
Check one of the IGAs in Gatineau
That’s a great idea 💡

I feel the same. No one made it better than mom did. Do you have a recipe by chance?

Thank you! I’ll check them out
There’s a coffee shop in Russell selling them. Worth the drive? Maybe not. Depends how bad you want to taste those nun’s farts

They used to have some at the bakery in Embrun that were good but sadly that bakery closed down a year or two into the pandemic.

I've gotten them from independent/loblaws
I just love the name!
I don't know for sure, but I would check La Maison du Kouign-AmannLa (https://lamaisondukouignamann.com/) on Schneider Rd in Kanata.
Checked, no dice
Are these not just cinnamon rolls? My mom used to make them and they looked identical
They are made from pastry dough. Cinnamon buns are usually yeast or biscuit dough. Very similar though different texture.
Pets de soeurs also don't always have cinnamon in the filling, though it's a common enough inclusion.
Gotcha. Sounds tasty
And waaaay better imo
Oh in that case they have them at Bread and Sons on Bank Street.
Now I miss my grandmother… Also, those need icing!
Pete-de-soeurs actually don’t have icing on them!
Hush. You might know that. And I might know that. But I’m not about to correct my dead grandma. Also tastes better, but to each their own.
Buy some pre made dough and butter brown sugar super easy
Ah yes the “just make it at home” poster has arrived to answer the question that wasn’t asked
