1) Role out the pastry (into a rectangle).
2) On the top half I sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese with a teeny bit of Cayenne pepper.
3) On the bottom half, I spread tomato puree, some chopped black olives, anchovies and capers
4) Fold into the middle, twice( don't forget egg wash!)
5) Cut the rolled pastry and put on a lined baking sheet
6) Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes
(NB after about 7 minutes, flatten with a palette knife, and turn, this ensures the best shaped Palmiers!)
Palmiers really need to be eaten within an hour or two of baking, but you can prepare them early in the day, pop them in the fridge, then bake them in the early evening and wow your friends with a perfectly delicious "amuse bouche".

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking I should join twitter too but haven't a clue how to go about it - perhaps a post "how to" for those of us who are somewhat challenged by such things!
Do you know I have never made these but they're so easy and soooo effective! Also makes you look very clever in front of your friends! Buy the ready rolled stuff and it's even easier!! I'm on twitter and I love the community. Find me @belleaukitchen xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. I'll let you know how I get on with twitter. My sons are both home this weekend so I'm hoping they'll help their non-techy mother!
ReplyDeleteDom, they are easy, quick and yummy, so just perfect! I think I am following you on twitter, and am now going to check!
Oh these look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for simplifying this with the pastry, I shall try it out..
I appreciate your visit so much!
A lovely weekend to you,

@KarenBurnsBooth on Twitter and YES to meeting up too ~ week beginning 14th Nov is good for me.
Karen thank you, I have replied via twitter, but as I don't understand not sure if it will work!
ReplyDeleteIrina, thanks your blog is wonderful, I love the music.
Chele, it's a great relief that super cooks like you also use ready made pastry.
Keg-Meg, Jean and Annie, thank you for your generous comments.
Ohhh, I've never heard of these before...and I don't understand why not- they sound just up my street! And perfect, as you say, for a nibble or two during a cocktail party!
ReplyDeleteLove these, I use ready made puff pastry ALL the time. Never would I attempt to make it myself, far too much like hard work.
ReplyDeletePalmiers look great, bet they went down a treat x
These look yummy! Thanks for visiting my blog and for following me! I now have 7 followers (ok 5 really as my mum and sister follow me!) and feel very lucky that anyone reads my blog! xxx
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with shop bought puff pastry. Rachel Allen has stated she uses shop bought. Bet no one has refused to eat the lovely treats because you didn't make the pastry.
ReplyDeletei love these and would never make my own puff...what's the point? !!
ReplyDeletehow lovely these look. I always thought Palmiers were sweet but these are such a great idea. Great snack idea for toddlers too.
