This is a great recipe that I have made 3 times. This last time I cut the recipe in half and made two braids instead of four. I double the nuts and only use half the glaze. Plus I make the glaze a bit thinner so it drizzles better. The baked danish is soft and tender. Wish I could add a picture, they're very appealing and hard to resist!
I have made this recipe 6 times. My family loves it.
This really is a terrific recipe. It was pretty easy to make. The only change I would make would be to scale up the filling to 1 1/2 or 2 times the original. The more filling, the better is my opinion. These turned out quite tasty indeed.
