    Palmier Pastries

    What are palmier pastries?

    Palmiers are popular cookie-like confections made of puff pastry dough. The dough is folded or rolled into tight scroll shapes and coated with coarse sugar before baking. The sugar melts and browns while baking giving them a buttery, crispy caramelized glaze.

    Often found in French, Spanish, and Mexican bakeries, these sweet treats are known by a few different names including palm leaves and elephant ears, which explains their common name in Mexico - 'Orejas' or ears.

    How to make vegan palmier pastries

    Palmiers are created with puff pastry dough, a flaky light, multi-layered or laminated dough. Puff pastry is made from sandwiching multiple layers of butter or shortening between folds of dough. You can make your own vegan puff pastry dough. It can be a bit of work, however, but well worth the effort. For this recipe, I went the easy route and used packaged puff pastry. It's important to note that many packaged brands contain animal fats or palm oil. Be sure to read the labels before purchasing. I look for brands that contain the fewest number of ingredients, if possible.
