  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    For this recipe, we prepare all the necessary products by measuring the right amount of them.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Now let's figure out how to bake Danish cookies? So, we make the dough. Sift the flour. Add melted butter, sugar and lemon zest, grated on a fine grater. Before removing the lemon zest, the lemon needs to be washed and kept in boiling water for a while, so the zest will not be bitter and will be better removed.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Now mix everything thoroughly into the crumbs with a spoon.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Pour milk into a glass or a small deep bowl and drive an egg into it. It is better to take a homemade egg, with a characteristic orange yolk - with such eggs, any baking turns out much tastier. Mix everything well with a fork until smooth.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. We begin to knead the dough with a spoon or silicone spatula until it thickens.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    We transfer the flour lump from the bowl to the work surface, which needs to be dusted with flour a little. To do this, you can use a table or a silicone mat, on which it is very convenient to work. We continue kneading. From the finished dough, we form a bun, cover it with cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes - any baking dough requires this.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    From the rested dough we form a sausage of medium diameter - the size of the cookie will depend on it. We divide it into medium-sized pieces, roll them into neat balls and sprinkle them with flour a little.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Preheat the oven to a temperature of 240 degrees, put the blanks on a baking sheet and send them to the oven for 10 minutes. After this time, we take out the baking sheet and cut each ball into two halves. Again, we put the cookies on the baking sheet with the flat side down and bake for 20-30 minutes.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    We determine the readiness of the cookie by its ruddy color. Sprinkle more hot cookies liberally with powdered sugar.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

At the exit you will receive a fragrant cookie with an unforgettable taste. You can dip it in tea, as we all did in childhood. Enjoy the taste of this baking on any day of the week - for no reason!
