Critical Success Points

  • Mix the vanilla seeds with the blond sugar for a uniform flavor.
  • Fold the edges of the pastry rectangle regularly.
  • Chill in the freezer before slicing to prevent the slices from crumbling.
  • Flip the palmiers halfway through baking for even coloration.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the knife carefully to avoid cuts.
  • Use kitchen gloves or a mitt when handling the hot tray.
  • Do not let the sugar caramelize too long; it can burn and release irritating fumes.
