I made the real Danish pastry dough today and made peach danishes. Real butter, handcrafted dough, layer, fold, roll, fold, roll freezer for an hour, fold, roll, &ct, ad infinitum. I figure there are between 729 to 2187 layers of dough and butter in what I made today.

They turned out beautiful. I did use a crisp, sweet dry white wine when I made the peach filling, and also used real cardamom and nutmeg.

I started at 10AM. I've tasted a sample, but they won't be ready for another hour.

Sometimes, I think that money I spent at culinary school was the best investment I ever made.

I remember to this day when I was in Copenhagen there was a bakery next to the hotel and I bought a Danish fresh out of the oven. Yum!!!

I also talked to a US Based Danish chef who said it was too much work to make the dough and he bought his from some place in Seattle

A fresh Danish is one of those unforgettable foods

That sounds so wonderful. I used to get a couple from a bakery down the street from my apartment in Stuttgart. I always got two, because I always planned to have one with a nice cup of coffee, the other I ate enroute.
