Macarons and Manner wafers: Which country has created which specialty biscuits?

When it comes to pastries, each country has its own typical specialties – from sugary sweet biscuits to crunchy cookies to moist sponge cakes:

• Italy has made crunchy cantucci and the round, fragrant amarettini world famous. Both are made with almonds, and are popular with coffee or as an ingredient in sweet desserts, such as those from the Amari brand.
• France is home to macarons. This colorful meringue with sweet filling is all the rage, and is available in a wide range of flavors in the Heinemann Shop.
• Austria is known for its soft, nutty Manner wafers – and, of course, for its unique Sacher cake, which is now far more than a mere pastry: it’s a registered trademark in its own right. 
• Great Britain would not be complete without afternoon tea – and wonderful pastries to accompany it. From traditional shortbread, to ginger biscuits or chocolate cookies – these delicacies taste even better when enjoyed with a good cup of tea. 
• Germany comes into its own at Christmas time, with gingerbread, speculaas, stollen and a wide range of Christmas biscuits. There are also regional pastry products in Germany which have gained acclaim beyond the country’s borders, such as “brown cake” from Hamburg. 

As with all regional delicacies, the finest pastries are the perfect gift to bring home to a loved one if you’ve been away. This is especially true thanks to the added visual appeal of the decorative packaging you’ll find in the Heinemann Shop. Put together a small, delicious selection of sweets and surprise your loved ones.
