The pastries from a Latin bakery are buttery, flaky, and sweet, and are sure to delight your taste buds. The best concoctions are made from scratch using fresh ingredients such as chocolate, milk, and layers of warm bread. If you have never had Latin pastries, below are several that are worth trying.

4 Scrumptious Latin Pastries You’ll Enjoy

1. Pastel de Guayaba

This guava-filled treat is a popular request at most bakeries in Latin countries. The baker will delicately spread the sweet paste on layers of flaky puff pastry dough. After baking it to golden perfection, you’ll savor the guava hidden in never-ending levels of mildly crunchy bread.

2. Churros

A churro is a traditional donut, except vertical. Churros are another must-have on the Latin pastries menu. Bakers fry the light and airy dough to create long sticks of crispy satisfaction. While still hot, they dust the morning dessert with cinnamon and sugar. Churros also come in a variety of shapes, including ringlets and spirals. 

3. Ham & Cheese Croissant

When you take a popular French breakfast bread and marry it with the Latin version of a ham and cheese combo, you get this savory pastry. The croissant is hearty, yet melts in your mouth. Seasoned pork and melting cheese will make this a delightful alternative to biscuit and muffin sandwiches. There’s also a similar version found in Hispanic-owned bakeries called the ham and cheese cachito.

4. Apple Turnover

You can’t go wrong with a creamy apple filling and fried dough. Apple turnovers combine sweet and savory to create a delicious and unforgettable bond. It’s another heavily-requested item in the Latin pastries section of many bakeries. The scrumptious turnover typically comes with sweet icing for added pleasure.
