These honey palmiers are absolutely wonderful, and here's the best part: they come together in just 55 minutes from start to finish. I love making them because they're surprisingly simple, using store bought pastry sheets so you skip all the fussy laminating. The honey in these treats isn't just for sweetness though, it's packed with antioxidants and natural enzymes that support digestion. The combination of buttery, crispy pastry with the delicate almond coating and golden honey glaze creates something that feels fancy enough for guests but honestly takes minimal effort. You'll have everyone asking for your secret.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: For easy cleanup, use a silicone mat.

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, butter, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Tip: Be patient, as this process can take a few minutes.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and confectioners' sugar.
Tip: Make sure to get rid of any lumps.

Roll out the pastry sheets to a thickness of about 3mm. Cut into desired palmier shapes using a cookie cutter or a knife.
Tip: Don't worry if they're not perfect – it's all part of the charm.
- 5
Place the palmiers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1cm of space between each pastry.
Tip: This will help them cook evenly.
- 6
Brush the tops of the palmiers with the honey mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tip: Don't be shy – you want a good glaze.
- 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the palmiers are golden brown.
Tip: Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly.

Remove the palmiers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Tip: This will help them set properly.

Dust the palmiers with powdered sugar and chopped almonds.
Tip: Get creative with your toppings – it's your palmiers!
