Ingredients
- 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
If using, mix the cinnamon with the granulated sugar in a small bowl, setting it aside for later use.
Step 3
Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture evenly over a clean work surface. Lay the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on top of the sugared surface.
Step 4
Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture evenly on top of the puff pastry sheet. Press gently with a rolling pin to help the sugar stick and evenly distribute.
Step 5
Fold the two longer edges of the pastry into the center, leaving a small gap in between. Press lightly to flatten.
Step 6
Fold each long edge again into the center, until they meet. Press down gently.
Step 7
Fold one half over the other, creating a log shape. Press lightly and wrap the log in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the chilled pastry from the fridge and slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Step 9
Place the slices cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each piece for expansion.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Flip halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Step 11
Remove the palmiers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
