Cooking Instructions!
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
In the meantime, prepare the raspberry filling. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the raspberries break down. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 4,5x4,5 - inch (12x12 sm) rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of the raspberry filling in the center of each square. Fold two opposite corners of the dough over the filling, forming a Danish shape.
Transfer the pastries onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with the kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a tablespoon of milk. Brush the egg wash over the risen pastries.
Bake the Raspberry Danish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown on top.
Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious Raspberry Danish pastries with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
