Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 225 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 120 ml warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 400 grams canned cherry pie filling
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 15 ml lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve 7 grams of active dry yeast in 120 ml of warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Mix in the yeast mixture, 1 large egg, and 5 ml of vanilla extract until a dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Roll out the dough into a 1 cm thick rectangle. Spread 225 grams of unsalted butter evenly over the dough.
Fold the dough into thirds like a letter, then roll it out again. Repeat the folding process two more times. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Roll out the chilled dough into a 1 cm thick rectangle and cut it into 12 squares.
Place a tablespoon of canned cherry pie filling in the center of each square.
Fold the corners of each square towards the center, pressing them down gently.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix 100 grams of powdered sugar with 15 ml of lemon juice to create a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes before serving.
