In The Kitchen With: Lucy Parissi’s Quick Danishes – Design*Sponge

I am very particular when it comes to pastries.  I love the buttery flakiness I find in Paris bakery treats, and often wish I could find the same here in Rome.  It was, until now, probably a gift from the heavens that I can’t find that same flaky buttery satisfaction here.  I say until now because food blogger, Lucy Parissi, has adapted a recipe by Beatrice Ojakangas for quick method danish pastry dough which means now I can make danishes and pastries at home!!   Lucy was concerned about the recipe looking a bit long, but it only appears so because she has been scrupulous in writing out the details so you won’t make a mistake.  She has only included the recipe for cream cheese filling, but you can experiment with so many different types of fillings.  This makes a large batch and freezes well, so you can keep a batch of dough in the freezer and bake up fresh pastry in the morning for a great breakfast treat.  So much for my healthy eating!! –Kristina
