PALMIERS

PALMIERS
(ook bekend as Hoefies of Varkore)

400 g frozen flaky or puff pastry, defrosted
100 g sugar
1 egg yolk
15 ml cold milk
Sugar a marble work surface and roll flaky pastry out to form a 35 cm x 25 cm rectangle, 3 mm thick. Sprinkle pastry with sugar. Fold each long side to meet at the centre, leaving a 2 mm gap, and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat process and dust again with sugar. Fold one folded section over the other (lengthways) to make a 3 cm wide band. Cut into 1,5 cm thick slices. Moisten a baking sheet with cold water. Place slices on baking sheet, 3 cm apart to allow for spreading during baking. Brush with egg yolk mixed with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 240ºC for 8 minutes, turn slices and dust with sugar again. Bake until golden brown.

Barbara:   Die mooi naam is palmiers —(Hoefies)
Strooi suiker op oppervlakte waar jy daai degie ooprol en klein bietjie uitrol sodat die suiker vasklou – dan gooi jy suiker bo-op die deeg en rol dit van die kante af middel toe, sny jou snytjies en pak in die pan en bak vir 10-15 minute by 200 (maar die 8 minute by 240°C lyk ook reg)
