Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Mix ingredients:
   In a mixing bowl, add 15 g softened butter and 1 tbsp granulated sugar. Mix until combined.
2. Add dry ingredients:
   Add 1 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 tsp salt to the bowl. Mix gently.
3. Add water:
   Gradually add 1/4 cup chilled water to form a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tbsp extra water as needed.

   Cover the dough with a clean cloth or cling wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Roll and Prepare Butter Mixture

5. Roll the dough:
   After 10 minutes, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 30 cm x 10 cm.
6. Prepare butter mixture:
   In a small bowl, mix 60 g softened butter with 1/2 tsp maida. This helps absorb excess moisture from the butter, making layering easier.
7. Spread butter:
   Evenly spread the butter mixture over the rolled-out dough.

Step 3: Folding and Chilling

8. First fold:
   Fold the dough into three parts like a letter. Sprinkle some dry flour on both sides to prevent sticking.
9. Wrap and chill:
   Wrap the folded dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the butter set and harden.

Step 4: Repeat Rolling and Folding

10. Second roll:
    After 30 minutes, take out the dough and roll it again into a rectangle (30 cm x 10 cm). Fold into three parts again.
11. Chill again:
    Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
12. Repeat twice more:
    Repeat the rolling and folding process 2 more times (total 4 folds), chilling the dough for 15 minutes between each fold.

Step 5: Final Puff Pastry

13. After the fourth roll and fold, your puff pastry dough is ready. Use it immediately or wrap it in cling wrap and refrigerate until needed.

    French Palmiers Recipe
    Steps for Folding and Baking Palmiers:
    
    Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
    Puff pastry dough: 1 sheet (homemade or store-bought)
    Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup (adjust as per taste)
    
    Step 2: Roll the Puff Pastry
    Dust and roll:
    Sprinkle granulated sugar on a clean surface. Place the puff pastry dough over the sugar and sprinkle more sugar on top.
    Roll into a rectangle:
    Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 10 inches by 12 inches. Press the sugar into the dough as you roll.
    
    Step 3: Folding Process
    Mark the center:
    Lightly mark the center of the rectangle without cutting it. This will guide the folding process.
    First folds:
    Fold the left and right edges of the dough inward so they meet at the center.
    Second folds:
    Fold the left and right sides inward again, bringing them to the center for a second time.
    Final fold:
    Fold the dough in half lengthwise like a book, creating a long log.
    
    Step 4: Slice the Palmiers
    Chill the dough:
    Wrap the log in cling wrap and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
    Cut slices:
    Remove the chilled dough and slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
    
    Step 5: Baking Process
    Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    Place slices on the tray:
    Lay the slices flat on the prepared tray, leaving some space between each piece as they will expand while baking.
    Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown.
    Flip and bake again:
    Flip the palmiers over carefully and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until both sides are evenly caramelized and crispy.
    
    Step 6: Cooling and Serving
    Cool the palmiers:
    Remove them from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Serve:
    Serve your French palmiers with tea, coffee, or as a delightful snack!
    Enjoy these buttery, flaky, caramelized treats!

Enjoy making crispy, flaky layers with your homemade puff pastry!
