Banket (pastry)

Hey there kiddo! So, do you know what a pastry is? It's a yummy flaky baked item that you can eat as dessert or even as a snack. One kind of pastry is called a banket!

Now, a banket is a pastry that originated in the Netherlands. It's made using almond paste, which is a mixture of ground almonds and sugar. The delicious almond paste is rolled up in a flaky pastry crust, which is kind of like a thick, crispy shell.

The banket is baked in the oven until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. The inside will be warm and gooey from the almond paste. It's usually served in slices, so that you can see the layers of the flaky crust and the sweet almond filling.

Some people like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the banket, or even add some whipped cream or sliced fruit as a garnish. Everyone has their own way of enjoying this delicious pastry!

So there you have it, a banket is a warm and gooey almond-filled pastry that's crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Don't forget to share with your friends or family!
