👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking panParchment paper
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Sprinkle half the sugar mixture over the work surface, lay the pastry on it and sprinkle the rest of the mixture over the top.
  4. 4
    Fold both sides of the pastry toward the center, fold again so the halves meet, and fold once more into a roll.
  5. 5
    Slice the roll with a knife, each slice 1 cm thick, and place on the baking sheet with space between the palmiers.
    Knife
  6. 6
    Bake 12–15 minutes, until the palmiers are golden caramel in color.
