Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine shortening, honey, egg, and sour cream until well blended. Add yeast and let it activate for about 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together potato starch, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and vinegar. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well to ensure there are no lumps.
4
Using about 1/4 cup of the dough, form small oval shapes on a greased baking sheet. Gently flatten each oval and use your thumb to create a small dent in the center of each danish.
5
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam into the indentation of each danish, filling it generously.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the danishes turn golden brown.
7
While the danishes are baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of water until you achieve a runny consistency.
8
Once baked, let the danishes cool slightly before drizzling icing over the top for a decadent finish.
