Pastries can be sweet or savory, baked or fried, large or bite sized.
An item is considered a pasty when it contains a higher fat content that yields a flakier texture. Many breakfast pastries are eaten as sweet desserts, but not all of them are.
Common pastries that are also breakfast items include: Croissants, Danishes, Donuts , Pies, Strudels, Eclairs, Strudels, Cannolis, Sweet Rolls and Tarts.
Breakfast Pastry Tips
Pastry Dough is as versatile as the pastries themselves. However there are few things to keep in mind when making any type of dough.
Pastry becomes less tender as more water is added so make sure you keep the correct balance.
Adding too much flour can also throw off the balance and create a stiffer dough.
Adding too much fat will cause the dough to crumbly.
Handling and rolling the dough too much will cause gluten to over develop which then reduces the tender flakiness of the dough.
In order for the fat to work its magic it needs to stay cold. Many recipes call for you to chill the dough at least once for this reason.
Cut in the fat: Most breakfast pastry recipes instruct you to combine the flour and fat (shortening or butter) by cutting them together. This is a really important step. The easiest way to do this is to use a pastry cutter, but a fork works too. Simply press the cutter down through the fat and flour over and over until the pieces of fat are the size of a piece of dry rice or the texture of cornmeal.
While I don’t suggest eating sweet pastries very often for breakfast, they are nice every once in a while. 😉
