Types of Pastry and Sweets
Pastry is basically a dough of starch, water and fat that can either be sweet or savoury. Sweetened pastries are usually described as homemade confections. The word "pastry" probably derives from the Latin term, "pasta". The earliest evidence of the existence of such a dish is from the medieval time when it was discovered in the kitchens of courts and palaces. Nowadays, pastries are a type of delicacy dish that can be bought in any bakery.
Pastry recipes have been handed down from generation to generation. Traditionally, a French pasty usually contains two to three eggs, a lot of sugar, one and a half cups of flour and one and a half teaspoons of baking soda or baking powder. In most European countries, this is the basic recipe although the ingredients may vary depending on the region.
There are different types of pastry. One of the oldest is the basic pastry, which is a floured dough that is baked and used for cooking and baking. It is also called puff pastry, crepe, tapenade, filo, streusel and foccacia. These are types of cookie pastries, which usually contain butter, fruit dices and candied peel.
Cookies and sweet pastries can also contain nuts, raisins and dried fruits. It is also possible to add raisins, dates and other food products. Cakes usually contain eggs, butter and other ingredients. You can decorate a cake by filling it with marzipan or fondant. This will give you a very sweet and luxurious look. However, the taste of cake tends to be bitter.
The next type of pastry is the biscotti. These are small round cookies that are filled with chocolate. These are a very sweet treat and they go great with coffee, tea or a snack. The biscuits are actually Italian in origin.
The croissants are very thick and very rich. They have an intense taste and are usually covered in butter. The croissants can be found in many different flavors, and they are available at all times of the year. In Paris, there are special bakery shops that offer this type of pastry all year round. When buying a croissant, you must ask for a variety pack so you have an option of what to buy.
Next, we come to the sweets. Sweets are available in various styles. Chocolates are available in many different flavors, although dark chocolate is preferred. They can be eaten on their own, with ice cream or with fruit. Almonds and pistachios are good choices for nuts lovers.
Finally, we come to the sweet tarts. These are made from fruit and are very sweet. These are a bit tricky because you need to roll them well or press with your fingers. If you want to make a really good start, then you can try baking the fruit instead of using flour. This way, the fruit flavor will remain and you will get a better taste.
