Method
Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water, stirring until the dough forms a ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Assemble the Danishes
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into squares, and place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square.
- Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a pocket, pinching to seal.
- Place the assembled danishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Glaze the Danishes
