Take note
Be aware that gluten-free baking can be a little trickier than traditional baking, but fear not! We'll guide you through every step to ensure your Dancing Dune Danishes turn out beautifully.

1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.

2

Roll out the Dough

Flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Transfer the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3

Add the Filling

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts). Sprinkle a spoonful of the filling onto each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.

4

Shape the Danishes

Fold the dough circles in half, sealing the edges. Then, gently fold the sealed edge towards the center of the danish to create a crescent shape. Use your fingers to pinch and seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.

5

Bake and Glaze

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the danishes with a beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. While the danishes are cooling, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm danishes.
