Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry cold but defrosted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ whole nutmeg seed freshly grated
  • ⅛ tsp kosher salt
  • Sea salt to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 and prepare the spiced sugar mixture by mixing sugar, ground cinnamon, fresh nutmeg, and kosher salt is a small bowl

  2. Sprinkle flour onto a clean, dry surface and roll out 1 of the puff pastry sheets. Roll the puff pastry into a square measuring 12x12 inches approximately.

  3. Sprinkle half of the spiced sugar mixture over top of the puff pastry square and press the mixture firmly into the pastry dough.

  4. After pressing the sugar mixture into the puff pastry fold the sides of the puff pastry square towards the center so that they go halfway to the middle. Then fold each of those sides halfway towards the center again. Finally, fold each of those sides together like you're closing a book.

  5. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry

  6. Cut the logs into 1/2 to 1 inch slices and arrange on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the palmiers as they will expand when baked.

  7. Bake at 425 for 7-8 minutes or until the sugar on the bottom has become bubbly and caramelized. Use a spatula to flip the palmiers and bake on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool slightly before serving.
