Palmier

Cultural Context

Palmier, also known as Elephant Ears, hails from France and is a beloved pastry made from puff pastry and sugar. Traditionally served as a sweet treat, it is often enjoyed with coffee or tea. Its crisp, caramelized exterior and flaky texture make it a favorite in patisseries. Variations can be found globally, with different fillings or flavorings, but the classic version remains a staple in French cuisine.
