palmier
Leafier, more tropical
A palmier is a crisp, caramelized pastry made from puff pastry folded to resemble a palm leaf or butterfly shape.
The layers create a distinctive heart-like pattern when sliced and baked: We picked up palmiers at the French bakery.
Also called elephant ears or palm leaves.
