Puff pastry and sugar, and nothing else. Roll it, chill it, slice it, and let the sugar do the rest.
Ingredients: 1 sheet puff pastry · plenty of sugar
Method
- Sugar the counter generously, lay the puff pastry on it, and sugar the top too, pressing it in.
- Roll both long sides toward the center until they meet, like two scrolls sharing a spine.
- Chill the roll 30 minutes so it slices cleanly, then cut it into slices a finger thick. Lay them flat on a lined tray, with room to spread.
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 12 minutes, turning them once when the underside is caramel, until both sides are golden and glossy. That is all they ask.
