Danish pastries
Laminated breakfast treats
Danish pastries are sweet, flaky breakfast pastries made from laminated dough—layers of butter folded into yeast dough, similar to croissant technique.
They typically feature fruit, cream cheese, or custard fillings and a glaze or icing: She picked up Danish pastries and coffee on her way to the meeting.
Often shortened to Danish: I'll have a Danish with my coffee.
