Palmiers with olive tapenade

Its dead easy to make Palmiers - all you need is some puff pastry and olive tapenade.

Yummy palmiers, makes great party appetizers!


Make sure you use puff pastry. The first time I made this, accidentally picked up wrong packet and ended up using short crust pastry instead. After 10min in the oven I was wondering why it was not 'puffing' out - check packaging and well, too late!! Using puff pasty was much nicer.

Here's how to make them:


1. Spread filling onto pastry.

2. Fold each side pastry end to meet in the center.

3. Fold one more time, bring each side of pastry to meet at the centre.

4. Slice them up evenly (otherwise you'll end up with odd shapes like I did), fold into a 'V' or 'U' shape. Arrange on baking tray and bake for 30 min at 170C or until golden and puff :)

Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. Best eaten the day they are made.
