Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry Base
- 14 oz puff pastry (thawed)
Filling and Topping
- ½ cup granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ oz freeze dried raspberries
- 2 oz white chocolate (optional, for melting and drizzling)
- Additional freeze dried raspberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (or the temperature recommended on your puff pastry package) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about ¼ inch thickness, creating an even base for your palmiers.
- Add Sugar: Evenly fold ½ cup of granulated sugar into the rolled-out pastry, distributing sweetness throughout the dough.
- Sprinkle Raspberries: Spread the ½ oz of freeze-dried raspberries evenly across the surface to infuse the pastry with intense raspberry flavor and a slight crunch.
- Shape and Cut: Cut the pastry into your desired shapes, typically slices or traditional palmier shapes, and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the palmiers for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
- Melt Chocolate: While the palmiers cool, gently melt the 2 oz of white chocolate, preparing it for a delicate drizzle.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled palmiers, then sprinkle with extra freeze-dried raspberries for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, try adding a small amount of raspberry jam before folding in the sugar.
- White chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a lovely sweetness and visual appeal.
- Store baked palmiers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
