Spiced Orange Palmiers | Slice & Bake Recipe

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: approximately 20 palmiers

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
  • 1/3 cup (80g) caster sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 orange – finely grated zest only

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170 Fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5 and line two large baking trays with parchment or silicon mats
  2. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl⠀then stir in the grated orange zest
  3. Unroll the sheet of puff pastry and generously sprinkle the sugar mixture all over until it's completely covered⠀
  4. Roll up the two short ends so they meet in the middle (and look a little like elephant ears!)⠀
  5. Using a sharp knife slice into segments approx 1/2 cm thick and put onto lined baking trays - spacing fairly well apart as they do spread⠀
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden
  7. Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature

Notes

  • If you want to make these in advance of baking freeze them instead of just chilling in the fridge - where the sugar will react to any moisture in the dough and melt, leaving you with a big sticky mess! Just defrost for a few minutes before slicing. Being slightly frozen actually makes them easier to cut!
