Pastries and scones

Pastries and scones

Pastries and scones are sweet or slightly savory baked goods that are often served with coffee or tea. Pastries include a broad category of cakes, tarts and pastries that are usually rich and sweet, often with fillings or decorations such as cream, fruit or icing. Scones, on the other hand, are compact, slightly crumbly breads that originate from British cuisine and are often eaten with jam and clotted cream. Both are often served for breakfast, brunch or as a snack.
