If preparing by hand, combine dry ingredients and cut in butter until the texture of coarse meal. Add eggs and sour cream and mix in. Stir yeast into milk and add to dough, mixing well. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rest for 20 minutes.



To prepare filling, combine all ingredients until crumbly and moist.



Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a square about 1/2-inch in thickness. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Spread filling over dough. Starting at one end, roll up dough, just like a jelly roll. Slice into 12 to 16 pieces. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes.



Bake at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.



For glaze, combine icing sugar and milk. Allow danish to cool then drizzle with glaze and serve.
