palmiers
Caramelized puff pastry
Palmiers are crisp, flaky pastries made from puff pastry rolled with sugar and folded to create a distinctive heart or butterfly shape.
The layers caramelize during baking, producing a sweet crunch.
Also called elephant ears or palm leaves: The bakery's palmiers were perfectly golden and shatteringly crisp.
