Wendy, did the dough not rise at all? This particular dough doesn't rise as much as other doughs but there should be some noticeable rising.

Do you know for sure that your yeast was active?

If so I would go ahead and make the danish.

somehow your yeast died.....or you forgot to add it.
Remove the dough...pat it out about 1/2 inch thick...sprinkle on some yeast, roll the dough up, knead it a little to work the yeast in, cover with saran and leave it in a warm place for several hours.
It works....I have done that!! Yeast dough is very forgiving.

Ann is right. I've made the danish a few times and it really doesn't rise much in the fridge. Did it rise at all?

Now I'm hungry for cheese danish. And I had already decided not to make any more sweets! Ha!

Thanx, I used Ann's advice, so now it is in a warm place rising hopefully!I know my yeast is good and I did put it in, so not sure why I had problems.Anyways thanks for quick responses and I will let you know how it comes out!I was so confident after having such success on the cinnamen rolls that the danish would be a breeze....now I will be kinda hesitent to try again.

Was it possible that your sugar, butter, sour cream mix was still to warm?

The danish came out of the oven an hour ago and one whole one is ALREADY gone!!!!!!!!!!!!They are DELICIOUS!!Don't know what the problem was in the begining, but added yeast and let them rise and they were the best. THANKS for all the quick help...will definatley try again. YUMMY!!!

Well there you go...it's all good!
