Easy Teatime Recipes

Mostly French teatime recipes, known as le goûter or quatre-heures in France, the official snack around 4 o'clock.

Unlike a much more substantial British afternoon tea with cakes, scones and savoury sandwiches, the French teatime consists of lighter teacakes, biscuits or cookies, a slice of cake, tart or a pastry. Ice cream or sorbets are also the perfect summer afternoon teatime treat. In Paris for tea? Check out my Guide to the best tearooms in Paris (by location).
