Directions
Auntie Barbara’s Yummy & Easy Danish Pastry.,My Auntie Barbara made this all through my childhood and it’s a sure family favourite. Finally I got the recipe from her and now hubby and family and our friends ask for it all the time. 🙂 Looks impressive, easy to make, and yummy, what more needs saying? Enjoy! P.S. I have added step-by-step photos for this recipe to help people know how the Danish should look at each stage of making, I hope that it helps and inspires. NOTE: Almond extract is stronger than almond essence, so be careful as to which you have and adjust any extract quantity according to your preference for almond.,Easy and yummy, I did cut back on the butter about 4 tbsp. served with homemade raspberry jam . Will make again for sure.,Delicious! I slightly underbaked on accident, and so the top layer was dense instead of flaky, but still rich. I topped with homemade blueberry jam and the icing (though I did not use the whole recipe). I made the icing with 2 oz of cream cheese added and heavy cream instead of water. Sooo good. My husband has eaten 1/3 of it in about 30 minutes.
