DANISH SLICES RECIPE

This recipe will teach you how to make Danish Slices. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. These are wonderful slices to make as the mixture of the pastry base topped with jam and then a cake top and icing makes the Danish Slices taste really sensational. I like doing some of the slices with a lemon icing and some with a chocolate icing as it looks really good in the tray with a check patern.

Danish Slices Ingredients

2 eggs
pinch salt
3 Tbs milk
3 oz butter
3 Tbs sugar
chopped nuts
2 Tbs tart jam
2 Tbs sultanas
1 tsp mixed spice
6 oz shortcrust pastry
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
4 oz lemon icing and chocolate icing

Danish Slices Method

The first thing you must do is line a greased 11 x 7 inch shallow tray with the pastry and spread with the jam. In a bowl add the butter and sugar and beat to a soft cream then add the vanilla. Beat the eggs and gradually add them to the cream mixture then stir in the sultanas. In a bowl sift the flour, salt and spice and add to the mixture alternately with the milk then spread evenly over the jam layer. Place in a moderate 350 degree oven and bake for about 30 minutes and then cool in the tray. Cover the Danish Slices with lemon and chocolate icing and sprinkle with nuts. The Danish Slices looks great with 1 lemon icing then 1 chocolate icing.

Now I have to tell you this is my favourite slice as I love the flavours of the biscuit base and the chocolate topping with white choc bits on top. You can make this as a rich chocolate topping or just a light chocolate topping just add more cocoa if you want it darker.
