Historical Food Fortnightly #15: Nun's Farts

Or Nun's Puffs, if you prefer. But I would never miss a chance to say fart. Because I never grew up.

HFF 15 (5)

The Challenge: 15. Sacred or Profane December 14 - December 27
In this challenge, be as divine or as devious as you like! It could be a food with connections to a religion, a dish served for sacred celebrations, or a concoction with a not-so-polite name. Whatever your choice, show us how naughty and/or nice you can be!
Ok so I am late, oh well.

I first heard of Nun's Farts, or pets de nonne, in the Green & Blacks Chocolate cookbook. Their version is baked and includes chocolate. The recipe I chose is fried and filled with whipped cream.

The Recipe: Nun's Puffs from A Text-Book of Cookery.
