Leo’s Nun Farts are delightful little pastries made by rolling a refrigerated pie crust with butter and brown sugar, then slicing and baking them until golden and caramelized.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted

Filling and Glaze

  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pastries.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Butter the Pastry: Brush a thin, even coat of melted unsalted butter over the entire surface of the pie crust, ensuring every part is covered.
  4. Add Brown Sugar Layer: Sprinkle the light brown sugar evenly over the buttered crust, making sure to cover the whole surface for uniform sweetness.
  5. Roll the Pastry: Carefully roll the pastry into a long cylinder, similar to a cigar shape. Pinch the ends tightly to seal in the butter and sugar, preventing leakage during baking.
  6. Brush with Milk: Lightly brush the outside of the rolled pastry with milk, and place the roll seam-side down to secure its shape.
  7. Slice the Roll: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled pastry into approximately 1-inch wide slices and lay each piece spaced out on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastries turn a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving plate.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon with the brown sugar before rolling.
  • Ensure the ends of the roll are tightly sealed to avoid butter and sugar leakage during baking.
  • These pastries are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer a glossier finish, you can brush the pastries with an egg wash instead of milk before baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and to aid in easy cleanup.
