Parmesan Palmiers

I normally make a few of these with scraps of puff pastry just for the 2 of us.

It’s a good way to use the leftover bits. I kind of piece them together, give them a quick roll with a rolling pin and I’m ready to assemble.

Our favorite is with Parmesan as a savory side to a salad or soup.

I made this batch for a dinner party a few weeks ago and used the whole sheet of pastry. I ended up with 18 of them – there were a few left for breakfast….

They are quick to make and bake but do need chilling time so plan ahead. It should be chilled at least an hour and can be made 2 days ahead.

This is how the pastry looks after being rolled up:

If you want a sweet treat you could brush the pastry with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
