Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (about 450g) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Let the puff pastry thaw according to package instructions until it is easy to work with but still chilled.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar substitute and ground cinnamon together until evenly combined.
Lightly flour your work surface and unroll the puff pastry onto it.
Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-erythritol mixture evenly across the pastry, ensuring full coverage.
Fold each long edge of the pastry towards the center, about 1/3 of the way in, then fold the entire sheet in half, forming a log-like shape.
Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2-inch thick slices across the folded pastry, resulting in small, even pieces.
Place the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the palmiers are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free classic palmiers with tea or as a light snack!
