Palmiers Recipe
Description
The Palmiers Recipe is a straightforward pastry treat requiring only a sheet of puff pastry and sugar. The dough is rolled with sugar, folded inwards multiple times to create layers, then sliced into consistent rounds. Baking at 450°F crisps the edges while caramelizing the sugar, yielding a crunchy, sweet cookie with a golden brown hue.
The cookies have a flaky texture from the puff pastry and a satisfying crunch from the caramelized sugar coating. The folding method creates multiple sugary layers, giving each bite a balanced sweetness and delicate crispiness.
Palmiers can be served as a light dessert or a sweet snack alongside coffee or tea. They are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but maintain good texture if stored in an airtight container.
Since baking time depends on cookie size, it is important to watch for a golden brown color as the doneness cue. Flipping halfway during baking helps ensure even crispness on both sides.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 puff pastry sheet
Instructions
- Place the puff pastry dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle it generously with sugar and run a rolling pin on it.
- Fold over the dough into the center and repeat again until the center meets.
- Cut it into 1/4 inch cookies. Place them sideways on a baking sheet.
- Bake them at 450°F for 6 minutes and flip them over to the other side.
- Bake for 5 more minutes and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust baking time according to the size of the palmier slices for even caramelization.
- Flip cookies halfway through baking to ensure both sides are evenly golden and crisp.
