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!!! :)
