Takes a little effort the first time through but it's rather fast when you get the hang of it and it looks like you spent forever on them. I saw Palmiers (palm-yay) in a local Costco and I was curious because they looked so good. So I went hunting up a recipe and I was shocked it was not on the Zaar. Sugar-dusted and flaky, with a toothsome bite, they're also a great way to use. Palmiers need to be cold before going into the oven.
