List of Ingredients



• Baking Powder Danish Dough:
  
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 tablespoon sugar
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, in small chunks
  
• 4 ounces cream cheese
  
• 1 cup, approximately, whipping cream
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, extra, in shavings or slivers
  
• Filling:
  
• 8 ounces cream cheese
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  
• Melted butter for brushing
  
• Confectioners sugar
  






Instructions



1. Stack two baking sheets together and line the top one with parchment paper.
   
2. In a large food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and pulse to blend. Add in the cream cheese and butter in chunks and pulse to make a grainy mixture. Turn out into a large bowl. In the center, drizzle in most of the cream and mix to make a soft dough, adding more cream as necessary until dough holds together. Lightly knead on a floured work surface. Pat into a rectangle of 10 by 8 inches and let rest 10 minutes.
   
3. For the filling, in a food processor, blend the cream cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice into a smooth filling. Set aside.
   
4. Roll out to 12 by 10 inches. Cover two-thirds of the dough with the slivers of butter. Fold like a letter, covering the dough once over the butter and the final third (usually the right end) inwards over the rest of the butter (you want dough touching butter). Roll the dough flatter again to make that 12 by 10 inch shape. Turn the dough (so the open ends are horizontal) and repeat the folding procedure. Do this 4 times. Divide dough in two. Roll each out a bit more. Spread half the cheese filling on each section. Roll up into a jellyroll. Chill to make cutting easier, about 20 minutes.
   
5. Meanwhile preheat oven to 425 F. Arrange oven rack to upper third of oven. Cut the dough into 3/4 inch slices and place on baking sheet. Brush with butter. Place in oven, immediately reducing temperature to 400 F. Bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes. Cheese filling might ooze out a bit - this is fine. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
