Total estimated time: 45 minutes
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to form a rectangle measuring approximately 30×40 cm (12×16 inches) and about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick.
Spread half of the sugar evenly on the rolled-out puff pastry. Gently press the sugar into the dough using the rolling pin.
Fold the shorter sides of the rectangle towards the center, so the edges meet at the midpoint. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the folded dough and press lightly again. Then fold one side over the other to form a long, narrow strip.
Transfer the folded pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This makes slicing easier and helps the Palmiers hold their shape when baked.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the dough from the fridge and slice into approximately 1cm (1/2 inch) thick pieces. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for the dough to expand.
Bake the Palmiers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and caramelized. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure even baking.
Allow the Palmiers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
