Steps:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 2/3 cup of flour. Divide into 2 equal parts, and roll each half between 2 pieces of waxed paper into a 6 x12 inch sheet. Refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry yeast and 3 cups of the remaining flour. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and salt. Heat to 115 degrees F (43 degrees C), or just warm, but not hot to the touch. Mix the warm milk mixture into the flour and yeast along with the eggs, and lemon and almond extracts. Stir for 3 minutes. Knead in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is firm and pliable. Set aside to rest until double in size.
- Cut the dough in half, and roll each half out to a 14 inch square. Place one sheet of the cold butter onto each piece of dough, and fold the dough over it like the cover of a book. Seal edges by pressing with fingers. Roll each piece out to a 20x 12 inch rectangle, then fold into thirds by folding the long sides in over the center. Repeat rolling into a large rectangle, and folding into thirds. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from the refrigerator one at a time, and roll and fold each piece two more times. Return to the refrigerator to chill again before shaping. If the butter gets too warm, the dough will become difficult to manage.
- To make danishes, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. The dough can be cut into squares, with a filling placed in the center. Fold 2 of the corners over the center to form a filled diamond shape. Or, fold the piece in half, cut into 1 inch strips, stretch, twist and roll into a spiral. Place a dollop of preserves or other filling in the center. Place danishes on an ungreased baking sheet, and let rise until doubled. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Danishes can be brushed with egg white for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Carefully unroll the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide along the dotted lines into 4 equal rectangles. Working with 1 rectangle at a time, gently pinch and smoothe the doug to eliminate the diagonal dotted lines. Trim the dough along one side to approximate a square. Place 1 tablespoon of cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of jam in the center of each square. Fold each corner to the center of the square, pinching them together. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. NOTE: I like to mix the cream cheese and jam together and then place in the center of each square. The cream cheese and jam remain separated otherwise.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth. With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
- Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife. Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares. Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together. Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash. Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes.
- Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.

- Make the Dough: Cut ½ tablespoon off the ends of each of the four sticks of butter (for a total of 2 tablespoons).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the 2 tablespoons cold butter and work it in with a pastry blender or your fingers until no large lumps remain. Add the vanilla, milk, and eggs.
- Mix with the paddle attachment on low speed until a dough begins to form, then switch to the dough hook and knead until a cohesive, but quite sticky dough forms, about 5 to 7 minutes. The dough won't completely clean the bowl and will stick a bit at the bottom. (You can also complete this step in a bread machine on the dough cycle.)
- Scrape the dough into a ball, and transfer it to a floured work surface. Cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the butter.

- Danish Brunede Kartofler (Caramelized Browned Potatoes) Ok, so caramel-coated potatoes might seem a little odd. But I promise it works, especially when paired with pork chops!
- Danish Meatballs. We’re used to meatballs and marinara. The tender meat with the tomato sauce works wonders with pasta or in a sub, and it’s a favorite for a reason.
- Danish Chicken and Asparagus Tartlets. If you’re looking for finger food that goes beyond chips and chicken wings, the Danes have you covered. Who doesn’t love a mini-pie or tart full of savory chicken and creamy sauce?
- Smørrebrød (Open-Faced Sandwiches) The first time I ordered a sandwich in Sweden, I was surprised when it came without a top. But I quickly fell in love with the concept, and to this day, I will eat my sandwiches this way.
- Agurkesalat (Cucumber Salad) Vinegar and pickled foods are super popular in Denmark, and you’ll often find something like this served as a side dish.
- Rugbrød (Danish Rye Bread) Bread can be quite a controversial topic when speaking to Europeans. What we consider dark bread – pumpernickel or rye bread – is often overly sweetened and not dark enough when compared with traditional European rye bread.
- Flæskesteg (Danish Roast Pork with Crackling) There was always a fight for the crackling in my house! It can be achieved by cutting deep into the pork skin, though not all the way to the meat.
- Danish Kringle. This wonderful pastry is originally from the pretzel family. It can be super light, full of layers, and have a variety of fruity fillings.
- Danish Potato Salad. Potato salad is a big deal across the pond, and each country has its own take on the BBQ favorite. Some will add boiled eggs and sausage and others go for chopped pickles.
- Koldskål (Danish Buttermilk Dessert) As mentioned above, the Danes don’t like overly sweet desserts. That’s clear in this simple little dish. Made by mixing buttermilk with yogurt and sugar, it can be served with fruit for breakfast or after dinner.
