Brown Butter Danish Pastry

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the cold unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it becomes smooth and pliable.

4. 4

   Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 3mm and use a pastry cutter or a knife to cut it into rectangles. Place a tablespoon of brown butter in the center of each rectangle and brush the edges with the melted unsalted butter.

5. 5

   Roll each rectangle into a tight log and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining brown butter and sprinkle with streusel topping.

6. 6

   Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the streusel topping is crispy.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
