What it is
These are pre-baked pastries, typically rectangular in shape, with a sweet filling sealed between two layers of thin, flaky dough. They are designed for quick preparation and are often enjoyed as a convenient breakfast or snack. The dough is usually slightly sweet and golden brown when toasted. The filling can vary, offering different flavor profiles.
How people cook with it

To prepare, place the pastry in a toaster on a low setting. Toast for one to two cycles, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is warm. Alternatively, they can be heated in a toaster oven or a conventional oven at a moderate temperature until warmed through. Be careful not to over-toast, as the pastry can become too crisp or the filling may leak out. They are best served warm.
