For Danish appetites : cook book
Danish families call the various styles and shapes of Danish Pastry "Coffee Bread" and a real Danish breakfast consists of Coffee Bread and Coffee, nothing else. In America, these rich pastries are served as often for dessert or for an afternoon party as they are for breakfast.
Cardamom, which is used in many of these recipes, is a favorite spice that resembles cinnamon in taste. It is a seed which Danish cooks crush to a powder with a rolling pin. Cinnamon may be substituted but will not give the real Danish flavor.
The term "warm place" in coffee bread recipes means about 80 to 85 degrees of temperature.
Butter is called for in all of these Pastry recipes. Vegetable shortening, or oleomargarine, may be substituted unless otherwise specified, but you will lose the real, good, old-world flavor by doing so.
