PALMIERS

This is a great way to use up any left over puff pastry , or sheets of puff pastry . For this recipe I used premade sheets of puff pastry . Preheat your oven to 200 deg C . Brush each pastry square with softened butter / marg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar . Fold the two opposite edges of the pastry half way to the centre . Sprinkle lightly with more cinnomon sugar and fold taking the edges to the centre . Sprinkle again with cinnamon sugar and fold one half of the pastry over the other half . press lightly to join . Cut the pastry roll into 18 pieces and place on a baking paper lined baking tray . Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden . N.B.The secret to making these pastries is in the way the pastry is folded . Palmiers can be served cooled from the oven or topped with whipped cream . Palmiers without the cream can be frozen .
