Pastries

Description: Pastries are baked goods made from dough, which can be either sweet or savory. They are typically made using flour, butter, and water, and sometimes include eggs, sugar, and other ingredients like fruits, nuts, chocolate, or cream. There are various types of pastries, including puff pastry, shortcrust pastry, filo pastry, and choux pastry, each offering a different texture and flavor.

• Puff Pastry: Known for its light, flaky texture, created by layering dough and butter, then folding and rolling it several times.
• Shortcrust Pastry: A crumbly, buttery dough used for tarts, pies, and quiches.
• Filo Pastry: A very thin, delicate dough that is often layered and used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
• Choux Pastry: A light, airy pastry made with butter, water, flour, and eggs, used for cream puffs and éclairs.
