Blueberry Jam Palmiers


 J is for Jam!

This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.

I had so many ingredients earmarked for J that I had a hard time choosing which one to make, jalapenos, jam, Jell-O. In the end, I decided on these Blueberry Jam Palmiers which were inspired by a recipe on Bake From Scratch. 

It's really simple, but you do need to be mindful of the defrost/chilling times. All you need are frozen puff pastry sheets, turbinado sugar, cornstarch and of course, jam.  I chose blueberry but it would be fantastic with raspberry, blackberry or even strawberry jalapeno.

First you thaw the puff according to the package directions. Lay it out on a pastry mat or cutting board and sprinkle with some turbinado sugar.  Roll it out to a 12" x 12" ish square and then gently flip it over onto the sugared side.

Combine your jam with cornstarch and then spread half of it onto the rectangle as evenly as possible.

 

Fold the ends in towards the center.

Fold once side onto the other so that it looks like a little book.  Repeat with the remaining puff. Place in it into the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes. You want it solid enough to slice.

Remove from freezer and slice into 1/2" sections. Place on parchment lined sheet pans 2" apart and freeze until firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Pop them in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.  You want them puffed and the bottoms golden brown. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry Dough
  • 6 tablespoons turbinado sugar, divided
  • 1 cup Blueberry Jam (or your favorite flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll one puff pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar. Using a rolling pin, gently roll over sugar to press sugar into dough. Carefully turn dough over so sugar side faces down.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together jam and cornstarch. Spread half of jam mixture onto dough. Roll up dough from two opposite sides, jelly roll style, meeting in center. Place log on its side on a baking sheet (coiled portions stacked to look similar to a capital “B”). Freeze until firm enough to slice, 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Repeat procedure with remaining dough, remaining turbinado sugar, and remaining jam mixture.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. On a cutting board, place dough logs on their side. Using a serrated knife, cut dough into ½-inch-thick slices. Place slices, cut side up, 2 inches apart on prepared pans. Freeze until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

I love Bake from Scratch! You did such a nice job controlling the jam. I'd probably smear it everywhere!

Wow, wish I could grab one right away. Every time I go to the nearby bakery I get a palmier for myself. Love them so much. Those are plain and now I so want to taste jam filled ones. Will give this recipe a try for Mother's Day.

I have only made palmiers with a sourdough puff pastry. This looks so much easier. I can't wait to try it.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
