Critical Success Points

  • Encase the butter without piercing it
  • Do not overwork the dough to avoid gluten development
  • Observe the refrigeration rest times (1 h 30 x3, then 30 min)
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar before the final fold for uniform caramelization
  • Flip the palmiers at halfway cooking for even coloration

Safety Warnings

  • Handle melted butter carefully to avoid burns
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid slips
  • Be careful of the oven heat (180 °C)
