Step by step recipe

• 1: Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
  Unroll the circle of puff pastry and trim into a square or rectangle (or roll out, if it comes as a block).
• 2: Glaze the pastry all over.
• 3: Sprinkle generously with sugar.
• 4: Fold the sides of the pastry in to meet in the centre.
• 5: Glaze again and sprinkle with more sugar.
• 6: Fold the pastry in half along the join.
• 7: Brush with egg and coat with sugar on both sides.
• 8: Finish by cutting the pastry into slices about 1cm (1/2 inch) thick...
• 9: ...and arrange these on a baking sheet, not too close together as they will open out during cooking.
• 10: Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  Loosen from the baking sheet while hot and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

If you make the puff pastry yourself, you can make your palmiers larger as the pastry will be thicker.
