Danish Pastry

Danish Pastry

Everyday

Danish pastry is a sweet, laminated pastry made by repeatedly folding butter into a yeast-leavened dough to create its characteristic flaky, tender layers. This rich breakfast and dessert item, which originated in Denmark but was perfected by Austrian bakers, typically features a variety of fruit, nut, or cream-based fillings in its signature spiral or folded shapes. Due to its buttery laminated dough structure, Danish pastries are notably high in fat and calories, with a single serving often containing significant amounts of saturated fat and sugar.
