Cheated Palmier Recipe KerryLynn

In each box of puff pastry, there are two sheets.

You can use one or both, depending on how many palmiers you want to make.

Create a little sugaring station in front of you.

I start with a bowlful of sugar, and a piece of parchment on which I put one piece of puff pastry.

Then, simply lightly dust both sides of the pastry with sugar, creating a thin, even layer of sugar on each side.

Next, begin the process of folding and sugaring.

With both sides of the sheet sugared, lay the pastry out horizontally in front of you.

Then fold the left and right sides of the pastry so they almost meet in the middle.

Then sugar the layer in front of you.

Then fold in the left and right sides again.

Then sugar this layer, again lightly but completely.

Then fold in the sides again.

Then sugar this layer, and finally fold both sides of the pastry together; you will have a log of heart-folded sugared puff pastry.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Using a serrated knife, cut the chilled palmier log into 1/4 inch palmiers.

Lay the palmiers flat on lined baking sheetslined or cleanup will be impossible.

Sprinkle the tops with any leftover sugar on your parchment.

Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the two trays in the oven halfway through.

Let cool just a bit before eating the whole batch!
