Lemon Blueberry Danish
Lemon Blueberry Danish is a delectable pastry that combines the tangy flavor of lemon with the sweetness of blueberries. This dish is perfect for breakfast or as a dessert. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup cold water
For the filling:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Spoon the blueberry mixture onto the center of each piece of dough.
Fold the edges of the dough over the blueberry mixture, creating a square shape. Place the danishes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the danishes are golden brown.
While the danishes are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk. Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes.
The Lemon Blueberry Danish is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The pastry is flaky and buttery, while the blueberry filling is bursting with juicy sweetness. The lemon glaze adds a zesty finish to this delicious treat.
