EVERYONE Loves Pastries!

Do you dream of making morning pastries worthy of being displayed in a bakery window??

That’s exactly what these are! Skip the trip to the bakery and try these recipes at home – we LOVE them all. There are so many tasty flavor options! Pastries can be sweet or savory, baked or fried, large or bite-sized.

Sometimes there isn’t enough time in the morning to produce beautifully crafted homemade pastries. Many of these pastries are made quickly (under 35 minutes!) with the help of a canned dough shortcut.

Pastries are perfect for any time of the day, from breakfast to special treats! Our kids think they are an especially good way to start the day!

    I made the cherry danish recipe and was so happy with how they turned out. It was next best thing to a bakery danish. I’ll be making them again with different fillings.
