Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast the pecans in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Chop the cooled pecans finely or pulse them in a food processor until they are finely chopped but not ground into a powder.
- In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans with the maple syrup, mixing until the pecans are well-coated.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases and thin them slightly. Ensure the sheets are roughly rectangular.
- Spread half of the pecan-maple mixture evenly over one sheet of puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining pecan-maple mixture.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the pastry tightly toward the center. Repeat from the other long edge so the two rolled sides meet in the center.
- Press the rolls gently together to seal them.
- Wrap the rolled pastry logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to chill and firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the rolled pastry logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the logs into 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) thick slices.
- Lay the sliced palmiers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for even coloring.
- Remove the palmiers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the pecan maple palmiers at room temperature and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is well-chilled before beginning to make it easier to work with and to achieve the best flakiness.
- Chop the pecans finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the pastry.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the palmiers to prevent the dough from squashing and to maintain the shape.
- Don't overfill with maple syrup to avoid excessive leakage during baking.
- Allow the palmiers to cool completely before serving; they'll be more crispy and the flavors will meld together beautifully.
