Description
Delicious peach danishes made with puff pastry and a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 fresh peaches, sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly roll out the puff pastry on a flat surface, then cut it into 6 equal squares to ensure even baking.
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated and lightly glossy.
- Place the pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to lightly score a border about 1/2 inch from the edges of each square, making sure not to cut all the way through the dough so the edges can rise properly.
- Arrange a few peach slices in the center of each pastry square. Keep the topping within the scored border to help the danishes keep a cleaner shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Brush this mixture over the exposed pastry edges to help create a golden finish.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastry becomes puffed and turns golden brown with crisp edges.
- While the danishes cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes using a spoon or small whisk. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving so it forms a light coating.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling it out.
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
