cherry danish

Red-filled breakfast sweet

A cherry danish is a pastry made from laminated dough filled or topped with cherry filling, often with a glaze or icing drizzled over it.

The dough is buttery and flaky, similar to a croissant, while the filling typically uses sweetened cherries or cherry preserves.

A staple of bakery cases and coffee shops: I grabbed a cherry danish and a latte on my way to work.
