If you’re a huge pastry lover, chances are you’ve stepped into a quaint little pâtisserie more than once. After all, it’s hard to ignore the appeal of pastries, when their creamy exterior beckons one to sink their teeth into it. And don’t get me started on the flaky pastries. Their crunchy texture coupled with buttery goodness is the reason why they make a perfect tea-time snack.
