Ingredients
- 1 box storebought puff pastry sheets, thawed
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lime, zested
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
Special equipment: food processor
Lay pastry sheets flat on a clean work surface and lightly brush tops with olive oil. In a food processor blend nuts, sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, lime zest and juice and rosemary. Evenly spread this mixture over the pastry sheets. Starting from each end roll the pastry towards the center creating 2 spirals that touch in the center. Repeat with second pastry sheet. Wrap both in plastic wrap and place in freezer until ready to cook. (These can be stored in the freezer for weeks.)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and set the racks in the upper and lower parts of the oven. Cut the palmiers into 3/4-inch slices and place on 2 parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, switching pans halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes before removing to racks to cool completely.

These are delicious and easy to make. Only use 1 tsp. cayenne even when doubling recipe otherwise too hot for most people. I've made these about 5 times and people always ask for the recipe. The lime zest and juice are critical to melding all the flavors. I too have found the need to double the recipe to have enough for both sheets of pastry. Yummy. I'm getting ready to make them now for my KY Derby party!

This recipe is great as it gives lots of portions in a quick recipe. I only used teaspoon of cayenne and it was plenty. I think the next time I make it I may actually double the filling though, as I found it difficult to spread it to cover all of the pastry.
