Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Strawberry jam (or your preferred jam)
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick baking mix, granulated sugar, and cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and large egg to the mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 inches by 8 inches.
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam (or your preferred jam) on top of the cream cheese filling.
Starting from the long edge of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them flat on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice.
Brush the tops of the Danishes with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the Danishes are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk for added sweetness before serving.
