1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
2
Cut in Butter
Add the unsalted butter (cut into small pieces) to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add Water
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
4
Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.

5
Mix Sugar and Cinnamon
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix until well blended.

6
Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
7
Add Sugar Coating
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
8
Fold the Dough
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly towards the center until you reach the middle. Repeat with the other side so that both rolls meet in the center.
9
Chill Again
Wrap the rolled dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.

10
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
11
Slice the Dough
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
12
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the sliced palmiers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.
13
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Flip them halfway through for even baking.
14
Cool
Remove the palmiers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
