How to Make Strawberry Palmiers
- Prep Puff Pastry: Start by thawing your frozen puff pastry according to package instructions. Once thawed, roll it out to approximately 9.5 inches for an even base.
- Apply Toppings: Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the rolled-out pastry, then gently roll the dough again to adhere the sugar, creating a sparkling outer layer.
- Fold Dough: Carefully fold the pastry lengthwise in half, then repeat the folding in the opposite direction to form a long log. Slice the log into even pieces to reveal the beautiful heart shapes.
- Bake Palmiers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the slices on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through for that perfect golden-brown color.
- Dip in Chocolate: Once cooled, melt your high-quality white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Dip the palmiers in the chocolate and let them set on parchment paper.
- Optional: Add a dash of sea salt on top for a delightful contrast of flavors.
