French Palmiers Recipe

When one thinks of palmiers, the delightfully sweet, flaky cookies also known as elephant ears come to mind. These palmiers are all of that and more. You can whip up this palmiers recipe ultra-fast, so they're perfect treats for last-minute gatherings or an untamed sweet tooth. The palmiers are not unlike the flaky texture of a croissant but are in fact made with puff pastry. Though making puff is not so difficult, there are oodles of ready-made pastries out there and often it is quicker and easier (and puff pastry needs to be handled carefully so as not to flatten it), often it is easier to buy.
