CHOCOLATE PALMIERS

This little gem is from the golden book of chocolate. Easy and delicious.

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 teaspoons butter
2 ounces semi sweet dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup powdered sugar
5 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • 1. preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool. Dust a work surface with powdered sugar and place the pastry on top. Roll out into a 12 x 10" rectangle. Trim the pastry so that the edges are straight
  • 2. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise to mark the center and unfold again, leaving a mark down the middle. When the chocolate mixture is thick and cool, pour it onto the pastry, working quickly so that it doesn't set. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the pastry. It is important that the chocolate mix is not too thick as it will run out during cooking. Sift the cocoa over the top.
  • 3. Begin to roll the sides of the pastry rectangle to the middle, where the mark is. Repeat for the other end, until it meets the already rolled half. Roll carefully in the remaining powdered sugar and transfer to a plate. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. When firm, cut across the rolls in 1/4 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Place on wire racks and let cool completely. Serves 8 to 10

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. This means using real butter, dark chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Precise Measurements: Be precise when measuring your ingredients. This will help ensure that your palmiers turn out perfectly.
  • Laminating Dough: Laminating the dough is a key step in making palmiers. Make sure you do this carefully and evenly.
  • Chilling Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and make it easier to shape.
  • Slicing Dough: Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into thin strips. This will help ensure that your palmiers are evenly baked.
  • Baking: Bake the palmiers at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help them to puff up and become crispy.
  • Cooling: Let the palmiers cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become even more crispy.
