Iftar Series - Day 20: You said Nun's Farts?

Hey there Masset Chefs!


You know that moment when you just want to make something quick and easy while tasty? That's exactly what happened to us yesterday and we ended up making these small sugar-puffed donuts, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside! They are called nun's farts... why on earth would they call it like that? Well I don't know if it's true but here's the story around its: "there was a nun living at the Abbey of Marmoutier who apparently farted in the kitchen while they were putting a feast together. The other nuns laughed so hard they ended up dropping a spoonful of the dough in a container of hot oil. Thus was born this type of donut in France, light as a breath that some prefer to call "pets de nonne."


Whether it's true or not, I hope this made you laugh! Now it's time for our recipe!
