DANISH ALMOND PUFF



Danish Almond Puff image

My mom used to make this Almond Puff every year for Christmas. It is very elegant and pretty--and surprisingly easy to make. I almost always have every ingredient already in my cupboard. I made it myself for the first time and my husband loved it. I'm planning to make it for his mom when she comes to visit. This is a fun one to share.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons water
½ cup butter
1 cup water
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
2 tablespoons candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup of flour in a medium bowl. Mix in butter using a fork or a pastry blender. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over, and stir with a fork until dough comes together. Divide into two balls. Pat dough into two long strips on an ungreased baking sheet, about 14 inches long and 3 inches wide. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. Bring to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon of almond extract and remove from the heat. Immediately stir in 1 cup of flour until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Gradually stir in the eggs until well blended. Divide evenly, and spread over the two crusts on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 1 hour. Allow to cool almost to room temperature before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, mix together the confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon of almond extract and a splash of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to make a pourable glaze. Drizzle over the Danish, and decorate with candy sprinkles if desired.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package frozen puff pastry
1 can almond pastry filling ((not almond paste))
4-6 Tablespoons butter, (melted)
1 egg, (beaten)
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 Tablespoon butter, (softened)
2 Tablespoons milk or cream
1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
Garnish: sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Thaw puff pastry dough as directed on package. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Open puff pastry sheet on a wooden cutting board and lay flat.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut 2" long strips on either side of center, making them about 1" wide. You should have 8 or 9 strips on each side when done.
  • Remove the strips on each corner, leaving the center intact to fold over filling.
  • Brush melted butter on center of dough.
  • Top butter with 1/2 can almond filling and spread evenly.
  • Beginning at one end, fold over center flap to cover filling.
  • Fold over the top strip at a slight angle. Repeat with opposite side. Proceed with remaining strips until you reach the bottom set of strips.
  • Fold over the center flap on the bottom then fold over the last two strips.
  • Using a large spatula, move braid to cookie sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining puff pastry and filling to make second braid.
  • Whisk egg in a small bowl and brush on top of braids.
  • Bake in oven for 20 minutes.
  • While pastry is baking, mix all ingredients for almond or vanilla icing together. Add more confectioner's sugar if you need to thicken it or more cream if it needs to be thinner. It should be a good consistency to drizzle over braid.
  • Remove cookie sheets to wire rack and immediately drizzle icing over braids. Sprinkle on sliced almonds.
  • Makes 2 braids.

DANISH PASTRY



Danish Pastry image

Rich buttery flaky dough that turns pastries into a sinful delight. Worth the effort and extra work involved.

Provided by Cindy

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 3h8m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups milk
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 2/3 cup of flour. Divide into 2 equal parts, and roll each half between 2 pieces of waxed paper into a 6 x12 inch sheet. Refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry yeast and 3 cups of the remaining flour. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and salt. Heat to 115 degrees F (43 degrees C), or just warm, but not hot to the touch. Mix the warm milk mixture into the flour and yeast along with the eggs, and lemon and almond extracts. Stir for 3 minutes. Knead in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is firm and pliable. Set aside to rest until double in size.
  • Cut the dough in half, and roll each half out to a 14 inch square. Place one sheet of the cold butter onto each piece of dough, and fold the dough over it like the cover of a book. Seal edges by pressing with fingers. Roll each piece out to a 20x 12 inch rectangle, then fold into thirds by folding the long sides in over the center. Repeat rolling into a large rectangle, and folding into thirds. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator one at a time, and roll and fold each piece two more times. Return to the refrigerator to chill again before shaping. If the butter gets too warm, the dough will become difficult to manage.
  • To make danishes, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. The dough can be cut into squares, with a filling placed in the center. Fold 2 of the corners over the center to form a filled diamond shape. Or, fold the piece in half, cut into 1 inch strips, stretch, twist and roll into a spiral. Place a dollop of preserves or other filling in the center. Place danishes on an ungreased baking sheet, and let rise until doubled. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Danishes can be brushed with egg white for a shiny finish.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

DANISH ALMOND KRINGLE



Danish Almond Kringle image

Categories     Bread     Cake     Bake     Almond     Pastry

Yield makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup warm milk, 105° to 115°F
1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom (see Note)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into slices
For the Almond Filling
One 8-ounce package almond paste (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon almond extract
For the Topping
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg white, beaten
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk. Let stand until the yeast dissolves and begins to foam, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cream.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cardamom. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Fold in the yeast mixture just until the dough is moistened. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, pound the dough until flattened to a 2-inch thickness, then roll the dough out into a 24-inch square.
  • To prepare the filling, blend the almond paste, almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and almond extract together. Spread the filling to within 1 inch of the edges of the square, and roll the dough up as tightly as possible.
  • Sprinkle the sugar for the topping on the work surface. Roll the dough firmly into the sugar to coat it well, and, at the same time, stretch it to form a log of dough 36 to 40 inches long.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the roll on the paper in the shape of a pretzel. Brush the surface with the egg white and sprinkle with the almonds. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes, or until puffy but not doubled.
  • Position the oven racks so that they are evenly spaced. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 300°F. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden. Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
