- Using a serrated edge knife cut the rolls into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange onto a parchment lined baking tray which has been sprayed with nonstick vegetable cooking oil.
- Lightly brush the outside of each palmier with additional egg wash and sprinkle the top with a small quantity of the brown sugar mixture.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 15-18 minutes or until fully baked, and the outside is golden brown. Serve on a decorative cocktail platter.
