- Use a measuring cup to flatten each roll out and build a small wall around the edge.
- Dollop a small amount of filling into each "danish."
- Add a teaspoonful of cherries.
- Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes.
- While the danishes cool, combine milk and sugar to create sugar glaze. Drizzle over danishes and serve.
