Danish pastry

Where it comes from

So named because they were introduced to the United States via Copenhagen.

noun Danish pastries

A sweet and flaky yeast-raised roll made from a dough using butter or margarine and filled with remonce (butter and sugar) or custard. Danish pastries are made in essentially the same way as croissants. The initial dough is moister and softer, includes sugar and also whole eggs, so it's sweeter, richer, and distinctively yellow, and it isn't given an initial rising.
