A little pastry is a type of dessert that is usually small in size and often has a sweet filling. The most common type of little pastry is a TART, which is a pastry shell with a sweet or savory filling. Tarts are usually made with a shortcrust pastry dough and can be filled with fruits, custards, creams, jams, and other ingredients. They are often served as a dessert or snack and can be found in many bakeries and restaurants.
