i just made these this morning with blueberry pie filling.
ingredients:
2 tablespoons shortening
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 packet yeast (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup potato starch
3/4 cup corn starch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tspoon xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vinegar
for cheese topping:
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
5 tablespoons powdered sugar
for fruit topping we like to use canned pie filling—our favorite so far has been lemon. we have also used blueberry and apple.
combine all ingredients (except the cheese and powdered sugar. mix well to remove all lumps.
place approx 1/4 cup of dough in a small oval on greased baking sheet. flatten to 1/4 inch. repeat until all dough is used. it helps to dip your spoon in water to do this.
mix cream cheese and sugar. place a spoonful of cheese mixture on top of each danish and a spoonful of fruit pie filling on top of the cheese filling. bake at 350 degrees for approx. 15 minutes.
the recipe makes abaout 6 large danish.
these things end up huge, but the bread is really light and airy. these turn out so good.
