Calamansi Danishes

I don’t know if you really qualify this as a Danish but that is the best way for me to describe the recipe.  This is the last recipe I promised to post from my little Tea party.  I really wanted to practice my croissant recipe again to get the procedure just right.  I thought my original procedure was pretty close but I realized I needed the help of The Husband to roll out the dough.  I don’t have enough arm strength to get the dough thin enough.  The filling was a basic cream cheese filling topped with a calamansi curd.
