Cómo preparar Auntie Barbara's Yummy Easy Danish Pastry
- **Make the base:** In a bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) cold water. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- **Prepare the baking tray:** Spread the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet to a thickness of 5-7mm.
- **Make the custard topping:** In a saucepan, combine 4 ounces (113g) unsalted butter and 1 cup (240ml) water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- **Thicken the custard:** Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour at once until smooth. Continue whisking until a smooth ball forms.
- **Add flavor and eggs:** Whisk in 1 teaspoon almond extract (or to taste) and 3 large eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- **Assemble and bake:** Spread the custard mixture evenly over the prepared dough. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45-60 minutes, or until the pastry is light golden brown and the topping is crisp.
- **Cool and glaze:** Let the pastry cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Decorate:** Glaze with your favorite icing, and sprinkle with chopped nuts or other desired decorations.
