Hello!

It’s been a really long time, but here we are again. For this time, it will be a very short recipe since it’s actually meant to be done when you don’t have much time (have to bring something to a dinner or tea party, or just having your friends over at home). These cookies are the easiest to do and turn out to be very pretty. They are called different names: Sweet palmiers, elephant ear cookies or just elephant ears.

I have eaten this kind of cookies all my life but never actually though how they are done until I met a researcher that came over to our lab to work on a project. She is from Mexico and used to live here couple of years ago. She showed me how to do the cookies, so the credit of them goes all to her. Thank you Ana Laura!

Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff Pastry (Hojaldre)
• White granulated sugar

I do not specify amounts because it kind of depends on how much sugar you want to put on it.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F or 180 C.
2. Take out the puff pastry and roll it out on a flat surface.
3. Then cover the entire piece of puff pastry with a thin layer of sugar.
4. Fold the pastry towards the center, and keep adding sugar each time you fold it.

   

5. Once you reached number 3 (image above) cut them. Like this they are ready to be baked, but what we did was then roll each cut piece in more sugar and then put them in a baking tray for 15-16 min then turned them over and bake them for another 3 min or so.

They were delicious and great with coffee.
