knotille

Knotille is a traditional French pastry, originating from the region of Lorraine. It is a small, round, and slightly flattened cake, typically made with a light and airy dough, often containing eggs, flour, sugar, and sometimes butter or oil. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Knotille is often dusted with powdered sugar or icing after baking, and sometimes flavored with vanilla or other extracts.

The pastry is typically served as a dessert, often accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea. It is also used as a base for other desserts, such as tarte aux framboises (strawberry tart) or tarte aux pommes (apple tart). Knotille is a versatile pastry that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger dessert.

The name "knotille" is derived from the French word "knott," which refers to a small, round cake or biscuit. The pastry is believed to have been introduced to France by German bakers in the 18th century, and it has since become a popular treat in French bakeries and patisseries. Today, knotille is a beloved pastry throughout France and is often enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike.
