It is called wienerbrød (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʋiːˀnɔˌbʁœːˀð], lit. "Viennese bread", corresponding to the French Viennoiserie) in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway and Sweden. 

This Danish pastry, sometimes abbreviated Danish especially in the United States, is a viennoiserie pastry, of Viennese origin, which has become a specialty of Denmark and neighboring Scandinavian countries. Certain other countries, like the United States, commonly consume Danish pastries.

These Danishes are made of laminated yeast-leavened doughs, creating a layered texture similar to a puff pastry. Inside is almond paste. It was Dad's favorite as a missionary in Denmark and I loved it also when we visited. Dad said the missionaries called it an "ulcer builder."
