National Pastry Day History
ReplyDeleteThere is no information available on the origin or beginning of National Pastry Day. Pastries however, have a very deep history that dates all the way back to ancient times. The first pastries were developed around 2600 B.C. in Egypt. These were made from crude flour sweetened with honey. The Egyptians would dip this early version of the doughnut into wine. During the 7th century pastries evolved to a new level, when it became a culinary art form. In the Medieval Ages pastries evolved even more from new recipes and techniques developed by Italian and Roman chefs.
According to pastry archeologists, Egyptians were whipping up pastries as early as 2100 B.C. And the ancient Greeks made doughnut-like pastries of crude flour and honey that they would consume hot and dipped in wine. These days we tend to dunk our pastries in coffee or tea, though we're kinda digging this wine idea.
