Sweet Mini Palmiers Recipe

🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes
🍴 Cook Time: 12–14 minutes
⏳ Total Time: 22 minutes
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (homemade or store-bought)
  • 40–50 g (3–4 tbsp) of golden sugar
  • 1 egg yolk

Steps

1. Preheat the oven.

  • Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the puff pastry.

  • Roll out your puff pastry or unroll it if using store-bought. Aim for a thin, even layer.

3. Add the sugar.

  • Generously sprinkle sugar over the entire surface of the pastry.

4. Press the sugar.

  • Gently roll over the pastry with a rolling pin to help the sugar adhere, but avoid flattening the dough too much.

5. Flip and repeat.

  • Flip the pastry over and sprinkle sugar on the other side.

6. Roll the dough.

  • Tightly roll one side of the dough toward the center.
  • Repeat with the other side, so the two rolls meet in the middle.

7. Slice and shape.

  • Slice the rolled dough into 1 cm (½ inch) pieces.
  • Place each piece on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, reshaping them slightly into heart shapes if needed.

8. Add egg wash and sugar.

  • Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with a little extra sugar for caramelization.

9. Bake to perfection.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

10. Enjoy!

  • Your crispy, golden Mini Palmiers are ready to enjoy. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat.

Tips and Variations

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Swap golden sugar for brown sugar for a richer caramel taste.

Bon appétit! These palmiers are a testament to the beauty of simplicity in French baking. Perfectly crisp and irresistibly sweet, they’ll disappear in no time. 😊
