  • Transfer the danishes to the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to seal the edges and a toothpick to poke holes throughout the pastry.
  • Brush the tops with more egg wash and bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • While the pastries bake, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and salt, then whisk together.
  • Add milk and vanilla, whisking until a smooth, slightly thick glaze forms. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.
  • When the pastries are out of the oven allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Pour and spread the frosting over each pastry just like a strawberry poptart and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles on top.
  • Transfer these to a cooling rack and allow the icing to set for at least 5 more minutes before enjoying while still warm!
