Viennoiserie--- It’s a French word for baked goods such as
Croissant, pastry, Palmier, Snail rolls, Danish Pastry….list goes on… for
various varieties of breakfast or snack French recipes . For some ‘buttery’ , ‘cheesy’
reason, I fell in love with Italian and French cuisines. But the amount of
butter, sugar and wine needed for most of the recipes made me to stay away from
making those at home. PAUL – A new branch of Authentic French bakery opened
recently in the mall. The richest aroma or the cheese made me to stop at Pauls
almost store closing time. I was so disappointed that they ran out of every variety
and I hardly got a chocolate croissant. It made me to dream about the Palmier
all night long, and my dreams forced me to made these mini varieties of
Viennoiserie J
for my breakfast J
For this recipe, I used ‘Pepperidge farm’ Puff Pastry
Sheets. This recipe is only for Palmier.
Ingredients:
Puff Pastry Sheets – 1 sheet ( I used Pepperidge Farm’ Puff
Pastry Sheets, store bought)
Sugar – ½ cup
salt – a pinch
Powdered Cinnamon – 2 spoons (Optional) – I prefer Cinnamon in these recipes, but it is your choice.
Butter – 3 spoons or 1 small cube
Egg - 1 large
Milk – 1 spoon (To prepare Egg Wash)
Sugar – ½ cup
salt – a pinch
Powdered Cinnamon – 2 spoons (Optional) – I prefer Cinnamon in these recipes, but it is your choice.
Butter – 3 spoons or 1 small cube
Egg - 1 large
Milk – 1 spoon (To prepare Egg Wash)
Preparation:
This recipe is very easy to make. Technique is only in the folding of the sheet. You can also make it ahead, throw it in fridge and keep it in oven 20 mins before your guests arrive. Thaw the Pepperidge Puff Pastry Sheet as per the instructions given in the packet. For Egg Wash- Mix Egg, Milk and a small pinch of sugar in a small bowl using spoon or fork. Heat Oven 400°F . Mix Sugar and Cinnamon Powder. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon Mix on the floor or plain wooden board. Unfold Puff Pastry Sheet on the Sugar mix. Roll the pastry sheet to make it with smooth surface. Apply Egg wash on the surface of the pastry sheet. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon Mix.

Apply Egg wash on the surface of the pastry sheet. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon Mix.
Roll one side of the pastry sheet like a pleat (One over other)
and bring it to center. Roll the other side (Opposite) similarly like a pleat
and bring it to center. Fold both the sides like a book. Slice the rolled dough
into ½ inch pieces. Apply butter to the baking sheet and place the slices in
baking sheet (Make sure the cut side is up). Apply Egg wash with brush on the
upper portion of each slice. Sprinkle sugar little bit on top of each slice.
Keep it in pre-heated oven and Bake it for 6-10 mins. Time varies depending on your oven. Remove when the pastries turning to caramelized brown and let it cool. Serve with Hot Coffee or Tea. This is perfect for breakfast or evening snack.
Tip: Use the same recipe with a little twist to make the rolls. Sprinkle semi sweet chocolate chips or dried raisins along with sugar on top of pastry sheet. Instead rolling the pastry sheet like a book, roll spiral role. Cut into small one inch pieces. Place it in the oven by keeping the cutting side up. bake it for 6-10 mins or till the rolls turn golden brown. Serve with Coffee or Tea.
