Here is our international pals- Franzi Croissant is a type of buttery, flaky, and crescent-shaped pastry that originated in Austria but is now strongly associated with French cuisine. It is made from a laminated dough, which involves layering yeast-leavened dough with butter, rolling it out, folding it several times in succession, and then rolling it into a thin sheet. This process creates the distinctive layered texture of the croissant.
The Galette des Rois, also known as the “King Cake,” is a traditional French pastry associated with the celebration of Epiphany, which falls on January 6th. This day commemorates the visit of the Magi (the Three Wise Men) to the baby Jesus. The cake has cultural significance and is enjoyed throughout the month of January in many parts of France and other French-speaking regions.
