Granines

Granines are a type of traditional French pastry, typically made from a dough consisting of flour, butter, and eggs, which is then rolled out and cut into various shapes. The name "granine" comes from the French word "grande," meaning large, reflecting the pastry's substantial size. Granines are often used as a base for other dishes, such as tarts and quiches, or served as a side dish. They can be plain or flavored with herbs, spices, or cheese. The dough is typically rolled out to about 1/4 inch thick and then baked until golden brown. Granines are a versatile ingredient in French cuisine, often used to create savory dishes. They are commonly found in French bakeries and are a staple in many French households.
