Crispy Cinnamon Palmiers are a delightful and easy-to-make pastry treat featuring flaky puff pastry coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture. These golden, caramelized curls are perfect for a satisfying snack or a charming addition to any dessert table, combining crispiness with a warm cinnamon flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (approximately 24cm/10-inch square)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Flour, for dusting
  • Parchment paper, for lining baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: Combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined and uniform.
  2. Prepare Work Surface: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and lay it flat on the surface, ensuring the flour dusting is even to prevent sticking.
  3. Coat Puff Pastry: Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over one side of the puff pastry. Gently press it into the dough to adhere. Carefully flip the pastry and repeat with the remaining cinnamon sugar on the other side.
  4. Fold Pastry: Fold the top edge of the pastry towards the center, then fold the bottom edge to meet the center as well. Fold from the top again to meet the bottom folded edge, and finally fold the entire piece in half, forming a long, narrow rectangle. Press gently to seal the folds securely.
  5. Slice Pastry: Using a sharp knife, slice the folded pastry into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place each cut slice cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between palmiers. Gently flatten each slice slightly to help them bake evenly.
  6. Bake Palmiers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the palmiers for 12-15 minutes until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Flip them carefully if needed and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes so both sides become deeply golden and crisp.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the palmiers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve fresh for best crispiness and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed for easy handling and best texture.
  • Slicing the pastry log evenly is key to uniform baking.
  • Flipping the palmiers during baking helps achieve crispness on both sides.
  • Store leftover palmiers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
  • These palmiers are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven before serving.
