Crispy caramelized palmiers (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
02 -
1 puff pastry sheet (homemade or store-bought)
# Instructions:
01 -
Roll out the puff pastry a bit on a floured surface to even it out. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 -
Sprinkle half the sugar evenly over the pastry, then press it in lightly with a rolling pin. Fold both long edges toward the center, then fold them again so they meet, finishing with one last fold to make a tight roll.
03 -
Pop the rolled pastry in the fridge for about 10 minutes so it firms up, making it simpler to slice.
04 -
Cut the roll into 1 cm slices. Dip each slice in the leftover sugar and place them well apart on the tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
05 -
Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack. Enjoy warm or once they've cooled down.
# Notes:
01 -
These pastries go great with a cup of coffee or tea.

The steps are super easy, but the end result looks impressive.
