Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Warm milk until lukewarm, then add beaten eggs and vanilla extract. Pour mixture into flour blend and stir until just combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and roll out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares, fill with custard and jam, and fold into bun shape.
- Place buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure your yeast is fresh and incorporate cold butter for the best flaky texture. Store leftover Danishes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
