Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Flour for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth it out.
- Mix Cinnamon and Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Coat the Pastry: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry, pressing it lightly into the dough.
- Shape the Palmiers: Starting from both ends, roll the pastry towards the center until they meet. Slice the rolled pastry into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the palmiers with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
