Palmiers/Elephant Ears/Palmier Cookies



Palmiers or elephant ears are heart shaped pastry with flaky and crispy layers,made using the pastry sheet.Couple of times I bought this one from shop and kids loved it.Its in my to do list since long time,but wanted to try it with homemade puff pastry.But whenever I make puff pastry,ended up in making veggie puff or egg puff.
Last week I made a batch of puff pastry to make cream horns.With the leftover pastry I tried the palmiers.It came out so perfect with a crispy outer with caramelized sugar.Off to the recipe...........

Press it slightly and keep it on a lined baking tray.If needed roll the cut slice on sugar.Continue for the rest,sprinkle sugar on the top of the sliced palmiers if desired..Preheat the oven at 400 F and bake it for 10 minutes,then flip the palmiers to the other side and bake it for another 10 minutes.Transfer it to a wire rack and sprinkle white sugar on the top when it still hot.Let it cool down completely.

  • Store it in an air tight container for 2-3 days





  • After sprinkle the sugar and roll into log,keep it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if its too sticky and difficult to slice.
  • If you want a sweeter version then sprinkle some sugar along with the flour while rolling the sheet..

As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry.
