Φιογκάτες are traditional Greek pastries, often enjoyed during festive occasions. They are made from a rich dough that is typically filled with a mixture of nuts, sugar, and spices. The pastries are shaped into bows or knots, which is where the name "φιογκάτες" comes from, as it translates to "bows" in English. These treats are usually baked until golden brown and can be dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness. Φιογκάτες are commonly served during celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, making them a beloved part of Greek culinary traditions.
