Ingredients
Shortcrust pastry:
- 200 g wheat flour
- 100 g butter cold and cut into cubes
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1 egg
Cream vanilla custard:
- 2 dl whipping cream
- 1 tbsp sugar

Icing:

Instructions
Prepare the shortcrust pastry:
- Mix 200 g wheat flour and 50 g icing sugar in a bowl.
- Add 100 g butter in cubes and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add 1 egg and quickly bring the dough together. Shape it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Shape and bake the biscuits:
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3-4 mm thickness.
- Cut out round biscuits with the cutter and place them on a piece of baking paper that fits your air fryer basket.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. (Use the preheat function, or let it run for a few minutes before cooking)
- Bake the biscuits in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
Make the cream vanilla custard:
- Whip 2 dl whipping cream until lightly whipped.
- Add 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla sugar, and whip until the cream is stiff.
Assemble the Danish medaljer:
- Take one biscuit and spread a layer of jam on it.
- Pipe the cream vanilla custard on top of 100 g strawberry jam.
- Place another biscuit on top.
- Stir together the icing from 100 g icing sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa powder and 2-3 tbsp water. Adjust with water to get the right consistency.
- Spread the icing on top of the biscuits.
- Garnish with a dollop of 8 tbsp whipped cream and 8 pcs Fresh strawberries.
Notes
Make sure the biscuits are completely cool before assembling them, so the cream doesn't melt.
