Mock Danish - Awesome

[La_La]

This weekend I went over to Oklahoma City to visit some family, they are all about the Pan Dulce con Cafe every morning like clock work. So I get up early Saturday morning at my aunts house and it's to the grocery store for me, picked up some cream cheese, some flaxseed, some vanilla eggs and other stuff. I get to the house and start cooking up stuff, make my tea and my aunts start dropping by.. "sniffing, um.. what's that?" starting at my freshley cooked Mock Danish! a piece here a bite there from her and from mother and who ever else walks by the table... they are loved it.. so I sat there and talked about Atkins, the Danish for a good hour! Off they go the the store to buy ingredients for the mock Danish.. lol.. they all agreed that this would be a good substitute to their pan dulce..

I thought that was awesome, they picked up something from me! lol

Mexicans traditionally consume all types of bread, I mean really all types and we have all types of crazy names for them...
Gendarmes (policemen), llaves (keys), cuernitos (horns), alamares (frogs), palomas (doves), besos (kisses), moños (bows), corbatas (ties), banderillas, campechanas, magdalenas, orejas (ears), garibaldis, conchas (shells), calzones (underwear), cocoles and pelonas (bald ladies).

So I just feel great, knowing that extended family has picked up on a new healthy habit from my WOE


I made the mock danish and added flaxseed tastes really good! imagine adding a little whipped cream or strawberries if you are up there on the rungs...

I will admit I wrinkle my nose everytime someone mentions the mock danish....I have never tried to make it, I have never tried to eat it....I guess I just dont understand it and the thought of creamcheese and raw egg flavored with vanilla just makes me gag a bit.....I'm glad you and your family enjoyed it....maybe one of these days...MAYBE....I'll try it or have someone fix it and serve it to me...maybe if I dont have to fix it, it'll taste better...LOL.

I thought the same thing, but then also thought, "I'm trying a lot of new foods since I've started Atkins, why not this". So, one morning, I made it. It actually surprised me. It was very good. I agree, it doesn't sound too good, but when it's all mixed and cooked, it is.

I thought the same thing Seshena, really I did first how the heck is an egg going to cook throughly in the microwave?? Even as I was making it was thinking what am i doing, but after it's all mixed up it looks like cake batter, best way to discribe it then once it's out of the microwave.. it's like a bready yummy nutty thing..

I am going to try the revolution rolls tonight

The mock danish is awesome. Add cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture and save some to spread on top for frosting.....yummmm. I made that for my own birthday treat and I didn't even miss cake.

Hmmm well i've had them a few times, but i must say i'm not as impressed as you guys, i think it's like an eggy pancake and nothing like a danish at all. I've made different versions with wheat bran, flax, almond flour, added berries etc...still like a rubbery pancake to me LOL. But it's a quick snack and I don't mind them...

Re: Mock Danish - Awesome

Gotta agree w/Sadie on this one, I do use them in a pinch, and the ingredients are always around...but love them? Nope. Still seems a bit weird to me.
