Palmier Dough is a flaky, buttery pastry dough used to make classic French palmier cookies. The dough is layered with butter and sugar, then rolled and folded to create crisp, caramelized, heart-shaped pastries.
Cooking Method
Prepare a smooth dough using flour, cold water, salt, and butter.
Chill the dough before rolling.
Roll the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle evenly with sugar.
Fold and roll the dough several times to create flaky layers.
Chill the dough until firm.
Roll it into a tight log, slice into thin pieces, and arrange on a baking tray.
Bake until puffed, golden, crisp, and caramelized.
