Similar to a croissant, this French pastry has flaky, buttery layers and the center contains chocolate. I’m drooling like Homer Simpson right now…

3. Pastelitos – Cuba

Delicious Cuban puff pastries filled with savory and sweet stuffings, such as guava, cream cheese, or minced meat. These sound amazing.

4. Boh Loh Bao – Hong Kong

Also known as “pineapple buns,” these are a Hong Kong staple. They feature a sugar-crusted topping and can be eaten plain or slathered with butter. Yum.

5. Ensaymada – Philippines

Ensaymada aka Filipino brioche is a soft, fluffy, buttery, slightly sweet bun topped with cheese. Another meryenda (afternoon snack) favourite best paired with coffee or tea. No skimping on butter and cheese here! This version is made from fathead dough, it turned out good but it’s not as fluffy as the real thing. I made another version with vital wheat gluten- see next post!☺ PS. Only 2NC per serve ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ Cheesy Keto Ensaymada Dough: 1.5C shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg 1T-2T sweetener (or to taste) 3/4C almond flour (for this recipe I used half lupin flour and half almond) 1tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 1/8 tsp salt Filling: 2T butter, softened Toppings/Frosting: 4T butter, softened 1C cheddar cheese, grated 2T sweetener (or to taste) Method: 1. Microwave mozzarella cheese in a bowl for 60-90sec. Add egg, stir until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and mix well. 2. Preheat oven to 150°C 3. Divide dough into 8 portions. 4. On a silpat or parchment paper, roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle. Brush a little melted butter over the top of the dough. 5. Roll dough into a log, pinch ends together to seal. Then turn dough seam side down or seam side facing inwards, in the direction where you’ll start twirling. Curl it into a coil. 6. Place on cupcake liners or baking pan. 7. Bake for 15-20min. Note that this will vary from oven to oven 8. Once cooled, add the toppings – butter with sugar and then all the cheese 9. Serve and enjoy . . . . . . . . . #ensaymada #filipinofoodmovement #ketodesserts #ketocommunity #ketolifestyle #fatheaddough #iqs #ketoph #ketoaustralia #ketobaking #ketoyum #ketofoods #lowcarbliving #lowcarblife #ketosisdiet #lchffood #sugarfree #ketobread #ketosweets #ketofoodie #ketorecipes #ketoforlife #ketoideas #ketosnacks #ketogram #ketostrong #ketoapproved #ketojourney #lcif #ketowoe

A brioche-based pastry that is topped with sweet cheese and has a wonderful buttery flavor. Often served with hot chocolate and strawberries.

6. Deblah – Tunisia

Deblah are often made using a pasta roller which results in a delicate, flower-shaped pastry. They are fried and typically topped with sesame seeds and citrus syrup.

7. Koeksister – South Africa

A braided and fried South African treat that is topped with syrup. Similar to American donuts but the process of making them results in a crunchy exterior and a syrup-filled center.

8. Pâté chaud – Vietnam

Vietnamese pies filled with meats, usually pork. They come in different shapes, too!

9. Macheteadas – Honduras

Fried, flat disks that are made using leftover flour tortilla dough. People usually put butter, honey, or syrup over them.

10. Stroopwafel – Netherlands

The translation means “syrup waffle,” so you know it’s gonna be a tasty treat. The top and bottom of the pastry are actually from the same waffle, cut in two. Stroopwafels are usually placed over a hot cup of coffee or tea until they start to melt, so you can enjoy a gooey delight.

11. Cornetto – Italy

The Italian cornetto has less butter and more of a cake-like texture than the French croissant, even though they look very similar. People usually spread jam, butter, or custards on their cornetto for a delicious treat.

12. Gugelhupf – Austria

There is debate about where this pastry originated, but it is one of Austria’s favorite breakfast treats. These yeast-based cakes are usually filled with nuts or fruits (and brandy!) and are dusted with sugar or cocoa. Cake for breakfast. Oh yeah!

I’ll take two of each!
