Gluten Free Danishes!

Aren't they beautiful?

My husband made these for breakfast this morning, to go with scrambled eggs & iced chai.  Mmmmm!!!

I found the recipe at Recipezaar, my favorite recipe site.

And here it is for you:

2 TB butter (the recipe says shortening--but I like butter instead)

1/4 cup honey

1 egg

1 tablespoon yeast (gluten free)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup potato starch

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vinegar

Toppings:

jam to top each danish

powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease a baking sheet

Combine all ingredients, and mix well to remove the lumps.

Plop about 1/4 of a cup of dough on greased baking sheet.

Flatten a little (this is almost impossible with a sticky dough, but whatever!) :)

Make a small dent in the middle of the danish with your thumb for the filling.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon (or more!) of your favorite jam into the middle of each danish. (note--we used a freezer jam, which was a bit too runny--a jelly or Lemon Curd would make it more like store-bought danishes).

Bake for about 15 min, or until golden.

While they're baking, mix up the icing. Just mix powdered sugar with water (more sugar--just a little water--stir up to make an icing :).

When the danishes come out of the oven, drizzle with icing.

Let them cool a bit, and then enjoy!!

Note: these will not be flaky like store bought danishes, but they're still good!!! :)
