Georgettes

Georgettes are a type of pastry that originated in France, named after the French queen Marie Antoinette, who was known as "Georgette" in her youth. They are small, round, and sweet pastries, typically filled with a mixture of cream, jam, or chocolate. The exterior of a georgette is made from a thin layer of dough, often rolled out and cut into circles, which is then baked until golden brown. The filling is then added, and the pastry is sealed by folding the dough over the filling and pressing the edges together. This process creates a small, compact pastry that is easy to handle and transport.

Georgettes are often served as a dessert or a snack, and can be found in various flavors and fillings. They are particularly popular in France and are often enjoyed during special occasions and celebrations. The simplicity of their preparation and their delightful taste have made georgettes a beloved treat in many cultures.
