1 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 cup sour cream
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
1. Cut butter into flour until crumbly, stir in sour cream and mix well. Form dough into ball and cover tightly, refrigerate over night.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have filling prepared (see below).
3. Divide dough into 3 equal parts, keep two parts in the refrigerator. Form dough into rectangle and roll out on floured surface until it is approximately 12" by 17". Put 1/3 filling down center. Cut strips on two sides about an inch apart. Alternating from one side to the other fold each strip towards the center like you're braiding. Repeat with rest of dough to create 3 danishes. Arrange on lightly greased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes and then drizzle powdered sugar mixed with water on top. Ta da.
Filling: You can use prepared filling, or jams that aren't too sweet, but we liked this easy prune filling the best. You can make it with any dried fruit.
1 1/2 cup pitted prunes, lightly packed
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
Simmer ingrediants until very soft and most of water has evaporated. Remove from heat and mash. Finished.
