Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (about 17.3 oz, 2 sheets, store-bought or homemade) puff pastry
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Place one sheet on a lightly floured surface while keeping the other sheet in the refrigerator to stay chilled.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon together until well combined.
Lightly brush the surface of the puff pastry sheet with the melted butter.
Evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the buttered pastry.
Starting from one long side, roll the pastry tightly to the middle, then roll the opposite side to meet it, forming two tight coils.
Wrap the rolled pastry in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up. Repeat the same steps with the second sheet of pastry.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove the pastry rolls from the refrigerator and cut them into 1/2-inch slices.
Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space between each piece to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake for about 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, rotating the sheets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking.
Allow the palmiers to cool on a wire rack before serving.
