PECAN DANISH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare your filling. Combine all your ingredients together. Stir until it forms a paste. Set aside.
• Dust your working area with flour, then roll out your puff pastry sheet. Divide the pastry sheet into 4 pieces.
• Make diagonal cuts roughly ½-inch apart from each other, on opposite sides of your puff pastry. Add roughly 1 tbsp filling.
• Fold the cut edges alternately, overlapping each other. Tuck in both ends of your puff pastry. Transfer to your greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush your pastries with maple syrup, then sprinkle your chopped pecans on top.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Allow to cool down briefly at room temperature. Brush or drizzle with more maple syrup to glaze, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a food processor, process brown sugar, pecans, and salt until pecans are coarsely ground; add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal; transfer to a bowl.
• Prepare the dough by adding flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter and shortening to the food processor; pulse until mixture resembles a coarse meal; transfer to another bowl.
• Stir in sour cream so that it forms a dough.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half; pat each half into a 7 in x 3 in rectangle.
• Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes; place in freezer for 15 minutes.
• Remove dough half from freezer and roll out to a 28 in x 5 in rectangle.
• Cover half the dough (lengthwise) with half the filling, then fold over and pinch edges to seal; shape into an oval by inserting ends into each other and pinching to seal.
• Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
• Repeat with other half.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; brush each danish with the egg and bake until golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.
• Cool 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients and mix well.
• Drizzle glaze over danish and let set for 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or room temperature.
• Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
