Well… there is always a learning curve in life. Schweineohren aka. Palmiers are one of those things you wished you knew about earlier. They are so easy and so delicious…. I mean they are small, gone in an instant and delicious — you could classify them as cookies I guess ; Nobody defined how a dough for cookies has to look like, right?
Do you know why they are named after the hearing device of pigs? No way. So why did somebody call them like that? I would really like to know how they all got these names. If you put two together they may look like little butterflies but also only with a great deal of imagination.
Well… these little puff pastry fellas shall have many names. Normally I would not make puff pastry at home for these. Too much time and effort for something that is eaten in no time ; Grab one from the store and you are good to go.
Make sure you grab one that is made with real butter and not vegetable fat — the taste is much better with butter.
Line the baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Cut the puff pastry roll with a sharp knife into 0. Place with some space in between on the baking sheet and bake for minutes until golden brown and puffed up. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet.
