I love going to bakeries – especially to get “breakfast treats” like doughnuts, muffins, cinnamon rolls and pastries – like these.
I had never made Danish type pastries before. Each month Sally’s Baking Addiction offers a baking challenge, with very specific directions and videos to help readers learn a new skill. One month the challenge was Breakfast Pastries, so I decided to try to make them.
These pastries are made from traditional baking ingredients – flour, yeast, milk, eggs and lots of butter. The extra butter gives these their wonderful buttery and flaky texture.
Just a forewarning – these do take a minimum of 5-6 hours and the dough requires two separate chilling times. But they are so worth it! Be sure to read the recipe all the way through before you start and watch the video for all the helpful tips.
You can fill the pastries with your favorite jam, fruit preserves, fruit butter or cherry pie filling. Or my first choice would be the cream cheese filling -the directions are included in the recipe. Then finish with a drizzle of vanilla icing. YUM!!! (For this batch, I filled some with blueberry preserves, some with peach jam and the rest with the cream cheese filling).

Easy Cream Cheese Danish
Is 5-6 hours just too much time? The recipe below takes just about an half an hour from start to finish! Also a scrumptious treat!
