Palmiers, baby!

 

last sunday was mothers day.

What have you guys done to spoil your mom?

My mama got an enormous brunch.

I made indulgent cinnamon rolls and roasted peaches with a crumble topping.

They were totally worth the three full hours {!} of work.

My sisters made amazing scones with clotted cream and jam, 

a fancy fruit salad and freshly squeezed orange juice...

For my mother-in-law I wanted to make something simple and easy,

something that doesn't require hours of work or complicated ingredients like yeast.

Still, I wanted to win her heart with something sweet and cute.

Well, I'm glad to tell you these little heart-shaped palmiers did the work, baby!

It's hard to believe these crispy puffy cookies require only three ingredients and three minutes of work.

Palmiers, baby!

1 sheet of puff pastry

60g granulated sugar {1/4 cup} + 1 T

1 T cinnamon

one: preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

two: combine the sugar and cinnamon.

three: dust your work area with half of the sugar mixture. 

four: roll out the sheet of puff pastry above it. Spread the remaining sugar evenly on top of the puff pastry. 

five: use a rolling pin to gently{!} roll the sugar into the pastry.

six: fold two sides of the square towards the center so they go halfway to the middle. 

seven: fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough.

eight: fold 1 half over the other half as though closing a book. 

nine: starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about half a cm {1/4 inch} in thickness.

ten: place strips, cut side up, on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. they will increase size dramatically, so leave plenty of room between each cookie.

eleven: sprinkle over 1 T of sugar.

twelve: bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until golden and caramelized.
