These are pre-baked pastry pockets filled with a sweet, fruit-flavored filling. They have a soft, doughy texture and are often topped with a thin icing or frosting.

To prepare, place the pastry in a toaster slot or on a toaster oven rack. Toast on a low to medium setting for one to two cycles, or until the pastry is warm and lightly golden.

Allow to cool slightly before consuming.
