Who would have thought that these simple butterfly shaped
pastries could have so many names.
Elephant ears, glasses, shoe soles, French hearts and hoovies
are but a few.
In Mexico they are known as Orejas (ears).
The word Palmier means palm leaf in French.
Anywoo! Let’s get baking…
Palmiers – Crispy Caramelized Cookies!
1 C Sugar
1pkt Puff Pastry-Original
(400g)
Tip: Please use
store bought Puff Pastry.
It is not expensive and life is just too short to make it from
scratch.
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Lightly spray or oil a baking sheet pan and set aside until
further use.
- Remove Puff Pastry 1 hour before you intend using. Make sure that it is not frozen but almost at room temperature.
- Sprinkle a clean surface with ½ cup of Sugar.
- Lay your Puff Pastry on top of the Sugar.
- Press it down gently with fingertips. Do not use a rolling pin at all.
- Sprinkle the top of your pastry with the other ½ cup of Sugar.
- Roll both sides 4 times. It needs to look like a scroll.
- Slice into 1cm slices. +/- 18 pieces.
- Place each slice, on the sugary surface, flatten with your fingers and put onto baking sheet pan.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Turn over. Bake for another 7 minutes.
- Remove from baking sheet pan, onto cooling rack.
- Done!
