Pastry Cookbooks and Recipes
Pastry are baked foods made from dough, the dough being made from flour, the flour
typically being made from a combination of flour, butter, shortening, baking powder
and eggs. The dough may be sweetened or unsweetened - the key different from
bread, is that pastry has a higher fat content which
gives it a crumbly texture.
