danish pastry with cherries

In Germany you can buy little danish pastries in every bakery. Mostly they are stuffed with fruits, pudding or marzipan.

The special thing with these pastries is the dough. Between the single sheets of the yeast-dough are several layers of pure butter. It's a particular technique how to prepare the dough.
The main problem here is that it is way to warm. So while preparing I had to hurry up and put the dough several times in the fridge to cool it.
When the dough is baking it rises high and it's like puff pastry.

I stuffed the pastries with cherries and to give them a special taste I added a little cherry brandy.
