Gluten Free Danish

By: Melissa R. 
"My husband says these are the closest thing to 'real' Danish he has had since going gluten-free five years ago. We like raspberry jam, but you could also try pie filling in the middles."

Original Recipe Yield 12 Danish
 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free pancake mix
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam
  •  
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the pancake mix, butter, and sugar; mix until crumbly. Stir in 2/3 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract and mix until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
  3. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet, spacing the dough about 2 inches apart. With the back of a teaspoon, make a shallow indentation in the center of each dough ball. Fill the centers with a teaspoon of jam.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the pastries to cool.
  5. Combine the confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and mix until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the Danish.
