About Danish twist

The Danish Twist is a delightful pastry originating from Denmark, celebrated for its flaky layers and soft, buttery texture. Typically crafted from enriched dough, this treat is often flavored with cinnamon, sugar, or vanilla and may include fillings like fruit jams, chocolate, or nuts. Its golden, braided appearance adds to its visual appeal. While undeniably indulgent, Danish Twists are not considered a health food, as they are traditionally high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, and saturated fats due to the use of butter and sweeteners. On the positive side, some variations include nuts or fruit fillings, providing a touch of fiber or micronutrients. Perfect as an occasional treat, Danish Twists exemplify European baking traditions and are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
