Palmiers (Elephant Ears)

• ? cup white sugar

• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ? teaspoon ground cardamom

• ¼ cup white sugar

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

1- Gather all ingredients

3- Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup sugar onto a work surface.  Unfold puff pastry and place over sugar.  Roll out to 10x15-inch rectangle.  Brush pastry with melted butter, then sprinkle sugar mixture evenly on top

4- Starting with one long edge, roll pastry tightly around filling, stopping in the middle of the rectangle.

5- Repeat with the opposite edge, rolling to the center and meeting the first roll. Wet your finger with water and dot along the long edges where the two rolls touch; press gently to seal. Refrigerate until slightly firm, 5 to 10 minutes.

7- Cut chilled pastry into 1/4-inch slices; place 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet

8- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 12 minutes.  Let rest briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
