    Stitched with flavor, shaped with pride

    The Story

    Betsy Ross, the Philadelphia seamstress credited with sewing the first American flag, represents the spirit of craftsmanship and patriotism at the heart of the nation's founding. Whether or not the famous flag story is entirely true, Ross was a real upholsterer and businesswoman who contributed to the Revolution. These star-shaped puff pastries — hand-cut and filled with spinach and gruyère — are a delicious homage to her artistry, precision, and American pride.
