Danish Pastry

When we go camping, we like to eat well – but we don’t want to work very hard or have a big mess to clean up.  We LOVE puff pastry!  This is another good thing to do with it.

Inredients:

  • puff pastry
  • pie filling – almond paste cherry, blueberry, apple (or, if you can get it, squeeze tubes of fruit fillings)
  • parchment paper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. On floured surface, roll puff pastry into an approximate 18-inch square.
  4. Cut into 9 squares.
  5. Drain some of the goo off the canned fillings.
  6. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of filling into center of each square.
  7. Pinch up the edges of the squares to make little squares or cups.  (you know – like what danish look like.)
  8. Chill assembled danishes 15 minutes.
  9. Bake until puffed and golden, about 20-25 minutes.
  10. Let cool enough not to burn your mouth.

If you want to be fancy,  make an icing.

  1. Whisk together powdered sugar with enough milk to make thick but pourable glaze.
  2. Drizzle over cooled danishes.
  3. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
