*A danish is also a sweet [[pastry]] that is popular in coffeeshops throughout the world. A danish consists of a thin buttered dough which is folded into many layers. The dough is typically made of [[flour]], [[yeast]], [[milk]], [[egg]]s, and the pastry itself is often embellished with icing, [[nut (fruit)|nut]]s (especially [[almond]]s), or fruit. In spite of the name, the danish was not in fact created in [[Denmark]], where the equivalent is known as a [[Vienna]] pastry. | *A danish is also a sweet [[pastry]] that is popular in coffeeshops throughout the world.
