Description
Super easy, and utterly flaky, these easy orange palmiers are a quick treat that look like you spend hours making them. The secret is out, it’s puff pastry to the rescue!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 Orange, zested
- 2 Tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small dish, mix together the sugar and orange zest. Set aside.
- Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, until it reaches 13×13 inches square. Brush lightly with some of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle the orange sugar evenly over the surface of the puff pastry. Roll two opposing ends of the puff pastry into the center of the pastry.
- If you have time, place the rolled puff pastry back in the fridge for about 10 minutes to cool the butter and set the pastry. It will be easier to slice cool.
- Flip the puff pastry over, so the rolled ends and seam side are down – it makes it easier to cut.
- Slice the puff pastry into approximately 1/2″ slices. Place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet, at least 2″ apart.
- Bake for 6-7 minutes, then flip each palmier and continue baking for 4-6 minutes until golden brown. WATCH CAREFULLY as the sugars will caramelize and then burn VERY quickly.
- Remove them and place on a cooling rack.
