Crispy palmiers have a way of becoming a family tradition, reminiscent for many of us of our childhoods. While it might seem like a complex recipe at first glance, it’s actually quite simple to prepare with just the essential, basic ingredients.

Ingredients for Crispy Palmiers:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • Powdered sugar, as needed
  • Cinnamon, to taste
  • 200 grams of sugar

Steps to Prepare Crispy Palmiers:

  1. Begin by laying a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray and sprinkle a bit of sugar over it.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry and sprinkle more sugar on top. Use a rolling pin to help the sugar integrate into the dough.
  3. Fold the sides of the pastry toward the center and sprinkle with a mix of sugar and a bit of cinnamon. Fold the two parts toward the center again and repeat the sprinkling process one last time.
  4. Cut the pastry into slices about one and a half centimeters thick. Place the palmiers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, slightly spaced apart.
  5. Preheat the oven to 220º C (428º F) and, once hot, bake for about 10 minutes.
  6. When they are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature before serving.

Recommendations:

  • The oven temperature should be high to ensure the puff pastry browns properly and the layers rise without issue.
  • If you wish to dip them in melted chocolate, glaze, or syrup, wait until the palmiers have cooled. While decoration is up to personal preference and can vary greatly, if you decide to add anything, let them cool on a wire rack to maintain their crispy texture.
  • Store the palmiers in an airtight container once they are cool and dry. This will help them stay perfect for several days. Avoid mixing them with other cookies or sweets to preserve their texture.
