Sweet dough

Description

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. This sweet treat is traditionally served with butter, jam, or honey. You can make a glaze or syrup to soak it with. Serve the pastry immediately after baking, while it's still hot and "breathing," although it's also delicious when cold. You can add variety by mixing in raisins or candied fruits.
