Breakfast Pastries

I want to start every morning with a plate of homemade breakfast pastries, all warm and buttery, and delicious. Who doesn't?

Alas, most of my mornings begin with fruit and yogurt. Which is also delicious, but not quite the same as a soft, gooey cinnamon roll or warm French cruller dripping with honey glaze.

Some weeks, what you need is some time in the kitchen turning butter and sugar into something worthy of a long, slow morning spent licking crumbs, and maybe some pastry cream or icing, from your fingers.

That's the kind of morning this collection of breakfast pastry recipes is for.
