Bake in the oven based on the instructions for your dough – roughly 9 minutes on 350o until they are golden brown.

Next, it is time to make your glaze. Again, this is very simple. Mix 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk and stir. You can alter the measurements based on desire of glaze thickness.

Let your pumpkin danishes cool slightly before adding your glaze so it doesn’t melt off.
