Palmiers~Little Hearts

Few years back,when my brother was doing his studies in MIT-Manipal,I used to look forward to his term-break trips back home.I knew that he would bring me stuff from a duty-paid shop nearby.Stuff like Kit-Kat[when it was not yet launched in India] and Little Heart biscuits were my favourites.I just couldn’t have enough of them.Soon after they were available everywhere and I lost interest in them.I think it had more to do with *my-brother-brought-it-for-me* stuff:)

My interest in Little heart biscuits grew further when I saw it in many blogs.Divya and Cham had made it with Puff pastry sheets making them more tempting for me.I had decided that those would be the first stuff I would try when I get puff pastry sheets.After a long delay,I made these.I had a few sheets leftover from the Veg Puffs and instead of re-storing it,I made these cutey little hearts which were gone the minute they came out of the oven.

I don’t think mine came anywhere near the real ones in terms of looks,but we loved the crispy and crunchy and mildly sweet home-made little hearts.My vanni tried it too and below is her little hearts;)

Little Hearts

Ingredients

Puff pastry - 1

Sugar - few tbsp

Method

Thaw the puff pastry according to the instructions given.

In a clean work surface,sprinkle some flour and sugar and keep the pastry sheet on top.

Sprinkle some more sugar on top and slightly roll it with a rolling pin.

Find the middle of the sheet and mark it with a knife.

Start rolling from either sides till both sides reach the middle.

Now the sheet will resemble a log,cut it into small ½ inch thick strips.

Place them in a greased baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or till they become evenly brown.
