Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread 1/4 cup of sugar evenly on your work surface.
Place the puff pastry on the sugared surface and sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough slightly to press the sugar into both sides.
Starting from one end of the dough, fold it inward by an inch. Repeat from the opposite end until both sides meet at the center. Fold one half over the other, creating a long, flat log.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into slices approximately 1/2-inch thick. Place each piece on the baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.
Bake in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the palmiers puff up and turn golden brown. Flip them halfway through if needed.
Remove the golden palmiers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
What type of puff pastry should I use?
