-FILLING –
2 tb Butter; softened
1 c Brown sugar
1 ts Cinnamon
1 c -Water
Sift the dry ingredients together. Blend in the lard to form a coarse
mixture. Gradually add the milk until a soft dough is formed. Roll the
dough until it is fairly thin, although it should be thicker than a regular
pie crust. Butter the dough with soft butter, cover with 1/4 inch of brown
sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and
slice into circles about 1/2 inch thick. Pour water into a casserole dish.
Put the sliced dough into the casserole and bake at 375F for about 30
minutes or until the pets de soeur are golden brown. VARIATION: Cranberry
jam may be substituted for the sugar and the cinnamon.
