Danish Pastry

Cultural Context

Originating in Denmark, Danish pastry has roots in the 19th century when bakers adopted techniques from Austrian pastry-making. Traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, these flaky pastries are often filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Today, they are beloved around the world, with countless variations reflecting local tastes and ingredients.
