facturas

Facturas are a traditional variety of Argentine sweet pastries, heavily influenced by European baking traditions (specifically Viennese and French) brought by immigrants. They are typically made from a rich, laminated yeast dough—similar to danishes or croissants—or a softer, brioche-like dough known as masa de bizcocho.These pastries come in many different shapes, sizes, and names, and they are usually enjoyed during breakfast or merienda (afternoon tea), almost always accompanied by mate or coffee.
