A quick treat to have with a cuppa!

I felt like something sweet tonight, and we don't have any lollies in the house (trying to diet! HA!). So threw these together, and thought I would show you how quick and easy they are. They are called Palmiers - if you would like exact measurements/times, let me know! But it's basically frozen puff pastry sheet, melted butter and demerara sugar.

Get out a sheet of puff pastry and let defrost for 5-10 minutes. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with demerara sugar.

Then fold up like this:

I then added some more butter and sugar between the last fold, and on the top - can't hurt...right? Then slice into pieces around 1cm wide:

Place them on a tray, then into a moderate oven until golden. I lift them off the tray straight away so they don't stick, and place onto cake rack. Enjoy!!

They don't store very well - they go soft, so you had better eat them all in one sitting, while they are still crispy... bwahahaha!
