Easy Cream Cheese Danish

Some of the most delicious desserts are breakfast desserts. I have every intention of doing an entire section of breakfast desserts, but in the mean time I will just give you my favorite. :)

This is a recipe that my grandma gave my mom and I. My family loved it, so my mom started making it for breakfast for nearly every visitor we had over for breakfast. The first time my mother-in-law came to visit my family, she had this danish for breakfast. And, of course, loved it just as much as we did. My husband (fiance at the time) asked her to get the recipe and she also started making it as a breakfast dessert for various people. Needless to say, this recipe has made its way around - and quickly! Everyone loves it!

Danish:
2 eight oz. cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2 eight oz packages cream cheese, diced
¾ cups white sugar
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp sour cream
 
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Line bottom of pan with 1 can of crescent rolls and pinch all seams together to seal. In large bowl, mix cream cheese, white sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream. Spread on top of rolls and place second can of rolls on top of filling. Bake in preheated oven for 20-30 minutes.

In a small bowl, stir powdered sugar, butter, and milk together. After Danish has cooled, drizzle with icing.

Confectionery, Corner ...Crepe!

The very first post on my very first blog - and I have had a lot of trouble deciding just what to do first. The first post could shape the entire personality of my blog. This is a  huge decision, but after much contemplation, I finally have settled on what I hope will be a hit-Crepes!

 

This recipe was one of the first that my sister and I tried as teenagers and every so often, I return to it with a new twist. The possibilities with this recipe are endless!

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

2 eggs

½ cup milk

½ cup water

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Simply whisk the ingredients, add to a griddle pan with slightly heated oil, and cook a ¼ cup of the batter for 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Now, here is where the real fun begins! Remember, I said the possibilities are endless… One of the most loved options is cream cheese, strawberries, and powdered sugar. But, what about peanut butter with bananas? Or any other type of fruit, jam, or syrup? Instead you could add Nutella, an ever-loved ingredient in my house! Really, you could do anything you like with this simple breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe! Be creative! J
