Crozets de Savoie

Les crozets de Savoie are small flat square-shaped pasta originally made in the Savoie region in southeast France. The crozets were made traditionally at home by housewives using buckwheat or wheat, or sometimes both. This pasta is used mainly to prepare two regional dishes, the croziflette (a variant of tartiflette) and crozets with diots.[1][2]
