Bread and Pastries Get Popular

In the past, rice was a staple of the Korean diet. Nowadays, however, Koreans frequently enjoy bread and pastries, especially as snacks and desserts.

The following are three mouthwatering items that can be found at bakeries and cafés across the nation.

Financier

Financier is a dessert that was first created in the 1800s by a French baker named Lasne. He worked close to a financial district in Paris, and it is said that he came up with the golden, bar-shaped pastry and its name in honor of the area.

The small, bite-sized dessert is a variation of almond cakes. Its golden and rectangular exterior is crunchy and covered with syrup or chocolate, while the texture of its inside is soft and moist.

Butter Bar

Butter bar is a cold, sugary dessert known as gooey butter cake in Western countries. To make it, a thin layer of cake mix is spread on a cookie sheet and a thick sweet butter filling is placed on top of it. Once baked and cooled, it turns into a double-layered dessert that is both crispy and gooey.

There are many flavors of the finger-licking dessert available in Korea, including cheddar cheese and green tea.

Salted Butter Roll

In Korea, salted butter roll is called “sogeumbbang,” which means salt bread. The bread actually originated in Japan, where it is also called salt bread, or “shio pan” in Japanese.

On first impression, the crispy, crescent-shaped roll may be mistaken for a croissant, but it tastes completely different from the French pastry. It is made by rolling a salted butter stick into a thin dough. When it is placed in the oven, the butter melts and fills the interior with a salty and buttery flavor.
