I'm not big on Valentine's Day (too commercial) but, decided to be creative this year. I combined that thought with a self challenge. Since the weather was cold outside it would be a good time to do a batch of puff pastry again. I truly love puff pastry and therefore choose not to make it too often (high fat and many calories). The results is I always feel rusty when attempting it again. So this time I searched out a new version with a lower fat ratio. Thank you Kaffeehaus by Rick Rodgers.
The dough came out beautiful thanks to the easy to follow directions and a cool kitchen. I did 6 turns; 3 letter and 3 book. I was so excited about the results until I realized I hadn't thought of what I wanted to do with the dough!
Ah ha, why not make some small Palimers in honor of Valentine's Day!
So as not to over do my enthusiasm I took only half the dough freezing the rest for another project.

I'd sy that was over an all success. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day too!

Your puff pastry looks beautifully smooth, and the palmiers look so flaky. Great job! I have a copy of Kaffeehaus. Will seek out that recipe and give it a try sometime.
