Post #25 - What are those roll-up things called?

The first pie of the new year was.....dramatic drum roll.....Peach!
Here it is while baking in the oven.  There are spots on the glass because I cleaned it with baking soda after the Great Pizza Upset and never paid attention. There are no "after" pictures of the pie because I forgot about it in the oven until the top was nearly burnt. It was not pretty.
Anyway...
We like pies. Better than cake.  We don't have pie very often. Why do you think this is?  They are both equally easy/difficult to make.

Anyway, when I roll out a pie crust I usually make it too big and have to cut off the scraps.  My mom always made a cinnamon roll-up thingy with the leftovers.  We never knew what to call them.

 You just smoosh all the scraps together, then roll them out:
 melt some butter and pour it on, spread it out,
 then sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it.
 BTW, you all have this little shaker in your house with cinnamon sugar in it, right?
 So then you roll it up,
 cut it,
 put it on a pan and toss it in the oven with your pie.
 I never remember how long to leave it in there, so I wing it.
10 minutes seems about right.
 The kids eat these up pretty quick.

So what does your family call these roll up thingies?  Or what do you do with the scraps?
