Palmiers

Palmiers or Elephant Ears are made from puff pastry. The puff pastry is rolled out, coated with sugar, and then the two sides are rolled up together so that they meet in the middle, making a roll that is then cut into about 1/4" slices and baked.
It is thought to have originated in France around the turn of the 20th century, but appears to a broader geography than just France. In Germany they are known as "Schweineohren" or in English "pig's ears".
