Mmmm...Delicious!

This morning we made Danish Pastry. It's fluffy and flaky and not too sweet. We put walnuts on top, but you can use your favorite nuts. Almonds are delish too.



Danish Pastry

Step 1
1 cup flour
1 stick butter
Cut butter into flour until butter is tiny sized. Then mix in 2 tbsp of water to make the dough come together.

Place on cookie sheets and form out into 2 long strips approx. 4.5 inches x 16 inches in size. The dough will be thin.

Step 2
1 cup water
1 stick butter
Place in saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat.

Add:
1 cup flour, mix until blended

Add:
2 capfulls (about 1 tsp.) pure almond extract, mix until blended

Add:
3 eggs - one at a time, mixing really well in between each egg. Be sure to beat in the eggs well, this makes the pastry fluffy.

Step 3
Bake at 350 40-45 minutes until browned.

Step 4
Mix powdered sugar (about 3/4 cup), milk (about 2 tsp) and a tiny bit of almond extract for a glaze. Drizzle glaze over pastries and then sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Enjoy!
