Yield:
Makes approximately 25 Palmiers
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2-3 tablespoons caster sugar
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to a moderately hot temperature, around 210-230°C (410-450°F). Also, lightly grease your oven trays to prevent sticking.
-
Roll Out Pastry: On a clean surface, sprinkle some caster sugar and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle shape, aiming for dimensions of about 20cm x 35cm. Use a sharp knife to trim the edges neatly.
-
Sugar Sprinkle: Sprinkle a generous amount of caster sugar evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
-
Fold Long Sides: Fold in the long sides of the pastry rectangle towards the center so that they meet, creating a neat fold. Sprinkle a little more sugar over the folded pastry.
-
Halfway Fold: Next, fold the pastry in half lengthways and apply a gentle press to secure the layers slightly.
-
Refrigerate: Cover the prepared pastry with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the pastry to firm up, making it easier to slice and bake.
-
Slice and Arrange: After chilling, remove the pastry from the refrigerator and cut it into slices of about 12mm thickness, roughly 1cm. Arrange the slices on the prepared oven trays, ensuring they are spaced about 10cm apart to allow for expansion.
-
Bake: Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes. After this time, carefully flip the Palmiers over using a spatula or tongs, and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until they turn crisp and golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Palmiers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, they will crisp up even more, giving you that satisfying crunch with every bite.
-
Final Touch: Before serving, dust the cooled Palmiers with sifted icing sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
