How do you like Danish pastry? - With raisins or with small pieces of chocolate?

[Rumpel]

Here in Germany there are two kinds of people: Some who love raisins and some who love with small pieces of chocolate in their pastry.
How about you?

When I think Danish pastry I think jam or custard, not raisins or chocolate. And I prefer strawberry. If the raisins and chocolate are in addition to that, then neither.

These pain aux raising or raisin Danish pastry spirals use the classic Danish pastry dough filled with pastry cream and rum-soaked raisins. The laminated dough results in a rich, buttery, tender yet flaky pastry.

Slightly Rich Chocolate Danish Pastries Recipe by cookpad.japan

Great recipe for Slightly Rich Chocolate Danish Pastries. I finally came up with a recipe to make croissants that I am happy with. And I rolled chocolate with the same dough!

I like my Danish pastry right from the American bakery in town. They have a sign that says "we use bleached white bro-mated flour. We are not responsible for your health"

History

The origin of the Danish pastry is often ascribed to a strike amongst bakery workers in Denmark in 1850. The strike caused bakery owners to hire workers from abroad, among them several Austrian bakers, who brought along new baking traditions and pastry recipes. The Austrian pastry of Plundergebäck soon became popular in Denmark and after the labour disputes ended, Danish bakers adopted the Austrian recipes, adjusting them to their own liking and traditions by increasing the amount of egg and fat for example. This development resulted in what is now known as the Danish pastry.

Now that's a Danish!

I think there may be a difference in German danish and American danish. Chocolate and raisins must be European. Most danish here if filled with custards and jellies and jams.

 

[RobertU]

I'll go with chocolate. Bits of raisins stick between my teeth and then I have to floss.

In Germany Danish pastry often comes in the form of "Schnecken":

Schnecken are a type of sweet bun or roll of German origin. Today schnecken can be commonly found in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Israel, southern Brazil and the USA.

The name Schnecken means snails in German and refers to the shape of the pastry. The bun is still common in Germany and Austria (in some regions as Schneckennudel[1]), where the name is Schnecke (which is the German singular of Schnecken), and in other parts of northern Europe. They are more commonly known as escargots (snails) or pain au raisin in France. Popular variants are Nussschnecken (filled with nuts and often raisins as well), Mohnschnecken (with a poppyseed filling) and Zimtschnecken, which are quite similar to cinnamon rolls.

A Danish with raisins. If I want a chocolate pastry, there’s Pain au Chocolat. Jam or custard sound like donut fillings and I hardly ever eat those.

I prefer businesses that don’t proudly poison their customers.

YES! Those are American sticky buns! filled with sugary cinnamon and often nuts and raisins coated in a sugary sticky mess that rocks!

No one’s stopping you from making stupid decisions. Unless of course the FDA comes to their senses and bans the carcinogenic potassium bromate, like it is in Canada and the EU.

 

[soylentgreen]

I am going to suggest something different. Pine nuts. They go well with something like strudel providing a bit of sweet crunchiness to go with the soft texture of strudel.

And yes, I know strudel is not german but close enough.

 

[grip]

I'd like a big 'warm' cinnamon roll with frosting, raisins, and chocolate chunks, drizzled with caramel.

Thank you for that proclamation !
