Spandauer

This is the pastry. The inspiration behind the globally recognized “Danish.” The name comes from an infamous prison in Berlin’s Spandau district which, to Danish bakers, resembled the shape of the elevated pastry. Spandauer are one of Denmark’s oldest and most cherished wienerbrød. If you try nothing else in Copenhagen, try a spandauer (but seriously, try way more than that).
