*Easy Drop Danish*
Makes 12 These are quick and simple to make, and delicious. Everyone loves them. You can fill them with your favourite jam, or a variety of jams, lemon curd and even mincemeat. All are equally as delicious. 280g of baking mix (2 cups) 65g of butter, softened (1/4 cup) 2 TBS sugar 156ml milk (2/3 cup) your favourite preserves (about 1/4 cup) For the glaze: 90g icing sugar (2/3 cup confectioners sugar) 1 TBS warm water few drops vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 220*C/425*F/ gas mark 7. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
Measure the baking mix and sugar into a bowl. Drop in the butter and using a fork, cut it in until crumbly. Stir in the milk. You whould have a nice stiff but dropable dough. Drop by rounded dessertspoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each one. Using the back of a spoon make a well in the centre of each. Drop one teaspoon of jam into each well. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown, and browned on the bottoms. Remove from the oven. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle this over top of the danish while still warm and serve. |
