Here is a recipe for a traditional Acadien dessert that is like a cross between cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. ‘Nun’s farts’ is the literal translation, so here you go Patrick. I will make them, maybe, later this afternoon and make any adjustments.

Ingredients – dough;

  • 3 cups flour
  • 6 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ cup lard (shortening)
  • 1 cup milk (thereabouts)

Ingredients – filling;

  • butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 cup water

Technique:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients.
  3. Cut in the lard.
  4. Gradually add the milk until it makes a nice dough.
  5. Roll-out thin, but not as thin as a pie crust.
  6. Butter the dough with the softened butter.
  7. Cover with the brown sugar about ¼ inch thick.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon on the sugar.
  9. Roll-up the dough and cut into rolls ½ inch thick.
  10. Place the water in a baking dish.
  11. Put the roll in the dish and cook until golden, about 30 minutes.

A variation, replace the sugar & cinnamon with cranberry sauce.

Enjoy!!!
