Start by preparing a basic Danish Pastry Dough.
Cover your table top with a little all-purpose flour. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough into a 60x40 cm (24x16 inch) square.
Use a knife to cut 24 squares measuring 10x10 cm (4x4 inch).
Place 2 teaspoons of vanilla cream on 12 of the squares and 2 teaspoons of your preferred jam on the rest.
Fold the four corners over the cream/jam and lightly press the edges together sealing the filling inside.
Cover the prepared Danish with a clean dishtowel and let them rise somewhere warm for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220 C (430 F).
Gently brush the Danish with a beaten egg to give them a nice golden color.
Place the pastry in the middle of the oven and bake them for 5 minutes at 220 C (430 F).
Turn down the heat to 200 C (400 F) and bake them for another 13-15 minutes until they open up nicely.
When they are done, let them cool off on an oven grid.
