Cinnamon Palmiers
Cinnamon Palmiers are delicate, flaky French pastries made by folding puff pastry with cinnamon and sugar. Their crisp, caramelized layers make them a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry about 10 inches square, thawed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Flour for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together.
- Roll Pastry: Lightly flour a work surface and place the puff pastry on it. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar evenly over the pastry. Gently press it in.
- Fold & Roll: Starting from both long edges, fold them toward the center until they meet. Then fold one side over the other to form a tight log.
- Chill: Refrigerate the rolled pastry for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Slice: Cut the roll into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Bake: Arrange slices on the baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Cool: Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- You can drizzle cooled palmiers with melted chocolate for a fun twist.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
