Nutella hazelnut palmiers

I love palmiers or "elephants' ears" and this recipe is just about the easiest and most delicious one I have tried. The sweeteness of the Nutella and crunchiness of the nuts take this palmier to a whole other level of flavor.
So easy to make and you can substitute the hazelnuts for any other kind of nuts you like or happen to have in your pantry (almonds are a good choice).


Ingredients:

  • 2 Frozen puff pastry sheets (thawed in fridge)
  • Nutella
  • finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 egg yolk and teaspoon of water (for egg wash)
  • Some granulated sugar for sprinkling

Directions:

  1. unfold the pastry sheets
  2. Smear Nutella on each sheet and sprinkle with chopped nuts (amounts depend on preference)
  3. Roll each sheet length wise from each side until both sides meet in the middle
  4. cut into 1 inch thick slices width wise and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
  5. brush each palmier with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar
  6. cook in a 350 F oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
