Ingredients
For The Dough
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Cold Water
For The Filling
- 1 1/2 cups Fresh Strawberries diced
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Powdered Sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water, stirring until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling. In a saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Roll Out the Dough. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Assemble the Danish. Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Seal the Pastry. Fold the pastry over and securely seal the edges using your fingertips or a fork. Cut small slits in the top of the pastry to allow them to vent while baking.
- Bake and Garnish. Transfer the assembled pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Once the pastry is done baking, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar over the top while it's still warm.
- Serve and Enjoy. Allow the Strawberry Danish to cool slightly before slicing.
