Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 5 leaves (optional, for garnish) fresh mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly sprinkle it with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface if it’s not pre-rolled. Using a flower-shaped cookie cutter (or similar), cut out 12-15 flower petals from the puff pastry.

Step 3

Transfer the petals to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each piece.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and orange zest until evenly combined.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each puff pastry petal with the honey-butter glaze. Save some glaze for later use.

Step 6

Bake the petals in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 7

Remove the petals from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cooled petals lightly with powdered sugar for a subtle sweetness and a decorative touch.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining honey-butter glaze over the petals for added flavor and shine.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy Mimi's Sweet Petals as a delicate dessert or a charming addition to your tea ritual.
