Coop Spandauer 90g
What it is
Coop Spandauer 90g is a type of Danish pastry. It is typically made with a rich, laminated dough, similar to puff pastry, but with added sugar and sometimes egg. The dough is folded multiple times to create many thin layers. These layers puff up during baking, resulting in a light and flaky texture. The pastry is often filled with a sweet almond paste or a creamy custard before being baked to a golden brown.

Coop Spandauer 90g is best enjoyed fresh from the bakery or after a brief warming. If purchased frozen, follow the thawing instructions on the packaging. For optimal texture, they can be gently warmed in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until the pastry is crisp and the filling is slightly soft. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the pastry soggy. They are ready to eat as is, without any additional preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a croissant, Spandauer pastries are typically sweeter and often contain a filling, such as almond paste or custard, which is not common in traditional croissants. The dough may also be slightly richer. The characteristic shape, with its folded edges enclosing the filling, also sets it apart.
