About this deal

Bring the water and butter to a boil. Once all of the butter has melted, then it's time to add your flour and whisk until a dough is formed. Scoop out the choux evenly onto the shortcrust, one scoop at time alternating between the two. This way you can be sure you're evenly distributing it. This puff pastry is a dessert that is different than most things you'll find on a typical holiday dessert table, and I think that's why it has such a fond place in our hearts. Because at first glance, before it's cut, you really don't know what it is. But then, oh then when you take a slice and see that airy choux pastry, that buttery shortcrust, and then taste of that almond frosting with the crunch of the sliced almonds, you know you have just taken a bite of a dessert that was not only made with years of practice but also one that has been with so much love and full of memories. What is a Danish Puff? Maraschino Cherries - A little pop of color and sweetness. Yes, yes, not a typical ingredient around here, but it's all part of the nostalgia when it comes to this recipe! The shortcrust is basically a super simple pie crust. Just two ingredients, butter, and flour cut together well before shaping.

Don't let the water boil over. Keep the heat for the water and butter at about medium, maybe a touch higher, but then you really need to keep an eagle eye on it. If the water boils over, then you need to start again, because you need all of that water!Danish Puffs, or also just a "Danish," are typically layered laminated pastries that are often filled with different fruits or nuts, like a Danish Kringle. This pastry, however, is much more of a puff pastry, which does not use the traditional Danish pastry viennoiserietradition that requires yeast (think croissant). Instead, this Danish Puff Pastry uses a choux (pronounced "shoe") pastry dough - more on that below.

Have everything you need ready, or mise en place, which is a French term for having it all ready. When you put your water and butter on to boil, have that flour and the eggs ready next to you. Fresh Green Bean Casserole From Scratch - With all of the from scratch components, this is one of my absolute favorite holiday sides! Cut butter in WELL. This is probably the most important tip. You want to make sure that the butter and flour are very well incorporated because otherwise, you'll have a crust that doesn't shape well and (even worse) when it's baked, it'll end up tasting floury, instead of like a crumbly butter crust.

So why is this called a Danish puff? No idea. My husband had no idea what the origin is as he is not Danish, all he remembers is that he has been eating this pastry since he was the age of our young kids. And really, aren't those memories some of the most important when it comes to a good recipe? Ingredients Needed Keep whisking VIGOROUSLY. Can you tell how important this step is now? Basically, think of how you whisk fast now, and take that up a notch. If the choux is whisked too slowly, then it will become clumpy, burned, and/or scrambled eggy dough. All Purpose Flour - This is really the best. Gluten-free, a nut flour, or even a bread flour just doesn't produce the same results.
