Indulge in the renowned French chef Cyril Lignac's palmiers—buttery, sugar-crusted puff pastry delights that deliver irresistible crunch and gourmet flavor.
General Information
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry (yields 16-17 pieces)
- 50 g sugar
- Flavor of choice: cinnamon powder, 1 vanilla pod, tonka bean, or anise powder
Preparation
- Unroll the very cold puff pastry onto a work surface sprinkled generously with sugar.
- Sprinkle additional sugar over the dough and spread evenly across the surface.
- Fold dough in half to mark it, then unfold. Fold edges inward from both sides, creating three creases per side.
- Continue folding: first fold each side in, second fold, third fold, until edges meet—ensuring sugar coats everything.
- Halve the folded log, then slice into 1.5 cm thick pieces (16-17 palmiers). Arrange staggered on a non-stick baking sheet (no butter, silicone, or parchment needed).
- Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy these gourmet treats!
