Danish pastry: laminated yeasted dough rolled out with butter, shaped into spandauer, kanelstang or kringle, filled with custard, marzipan or remonce and baked until shattering crisp.
Wienerbrød (literally 'Viennese bread') is the Danish name for what the world calls Danish pastry, a misnomer reflecting that the technique arrived in Copenhagen with Austrian bakers brought in to replace striking Danish workers in 1850. The Danish bakers learned and elevated the lamination technique into the local pastry tradition. Hart Bageri, Juno the Bakery and Sankt Peders Bageri produce the canonical Copenhagen wienerbrød daily; the kanelstang at Sankt Peders Bageri is the city's reference cinnamon-bun-style version.
