Etymology

So named because they were introduced to the United States via Copenhagen.

Meanings

1. A sweet and flaky yeast-raised roll made from a dough using butter or margarine and filled with remonce (butter and sugar) or custard.
   • Danish pastries are made in essentially the same way as croissants. The initial dough is moister and softer, includes sugar and also whole eggs, so it's sweeter, richer, and distinctively yellow, and it isn't given an initial rising. 2004, Harold McGee, chapter 10, in On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen, Scribner, →ISBN:
