About Palmiers

Palmiers, also known as "Elephant Ears," are flaky, crisp pastries traditionally made from puff pastry and sugar. Originating in French cuisine, they exemplify the artistry of baking with simple ingredients. The dough is rolled thin, sprinkled generously with sugar, and folded into a fan-like shape before baking to create their characteristic golden layers. While Palmiers are admired for their light texture and delicate sweetness, they are not considered a health food. High in refined carbohydrates, sugars, and butter, they lack substantial vitamins, fiber, or protein. However, their minimal ingredients make them free of preservatives or additives when prepared traditionally. Enjoyed in moderation, Palmiers can be a delightful treat during afternoon tea or as a dessert, showcasing the elegance of French bakery traditions while highlighting the importance of mindful consumption in a balanced diet.
