Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ tsp salt
Filling
- ½ cup raspberry jam
- Custard:
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it activate for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, sugar, salt, egg, and cold cubed butter. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover and let it proof in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Slowly add the milk while stirring continuously. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened to a custard consistency. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Shape and fill buns: Punch down the dough and divide into 10 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and create an indentation in the center. Spoon a tablespoon of custard into each indentation, then add a teaspoon of raspberry jam over the custard.
- Bake the buns: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Place the filled buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
- You can substitute raspberry jam with other fruit jams like strawberry or apricot.
- Store the Danish buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
