    List of Ingredients




    Yield: This recipe makes about 18 pastries, depending on size of Danish
    2 eggs, beaten
    3/4 cup warm milk, (about 110°F)
    1/4 ounce active dry yeast (1 package)
    4 cups bread flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1-1/2 cups butter
    1-1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom

    Recipe



    In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, milk and yeast together. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes under refrigeration.

    Using a pastry blender, blend the flour, salt, sugar, and cardamom together. Work the yeast mixture into the flour. Knead the dough until smooth, about 2 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and allow to rest, about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Beat 1-1/2 cups butter until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into an oblong about 3/8" thick. Dot 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the dough. Fold the undotted dough over the remaining third of the butter-dotted portion. The dough is now in 3 layers.

    Roll the dough out gently into an oblong, 3/8" thick.

    Repeat the folding process two more times. Cover and chill the dough for 2 hours.

    For use, roll the dough into the desired shape following the rolling techniques.
