Easy as Sunday morning
I often have grand ideas at the weekend that I’ll wake up with sun streaming through the curtains, feeling refreshed. I’ll move into the kitchen after wiping the sleep from my eyes. I’ll whip up a batch of pancakes, maybe waffles and I’ll take them back to Jon who’s still dozing in bed.
This, by the way, never happens. I am not a morning person…
The days we do cook something tasty for breakfast it’s usually more like brunch or lunch! I’ve probably got yesterdays make-up smeared all over my face, my hair will be a mess and I’ll probably be a little bit grumpy. The likelihood is that I will burn myself in the process, cover the kitchen in mess, swear just a few times before plonking down my “creation” in front of Jon who, by this point, has been waiting an hour and a half for his breakfast…
Sound familliar? Hopefully this recipe is about to change things. It’s so simple to make that I could probably do it in my sleep!
Nutella and Pastry to say ‘I Love You’
You’ve probably guessed it by now but the 2 ingredients you need to make this recipe are Nutella and ready rolled puff pastry. That is it! A cup of coffee and a dusting of icing are delicious extras but these Nutella Palmiers are incredibly moreish without the extra frills and fuss.
What I think makes this recipe so perfect for a Valentines Day treat is that firstly everyone loves Nutella…I’m sure this is a fact rather than a sweeping generalisation. And secondly, by using ready rolled puff pastry rather than making your own you can have this recipe put together in no time. Getting up early or Valentines Day, or staying up late the day before, just to make your own puff pastry shows you care…about the pastry rather than your other half. Wouldn’t you rather be snuggled up in bed longer than slaving away in the kitchen?
With this simple recipe you get to impress your special someone with freshly baked pastries AND get to stay in bed for extra cuddles. It’s totally win-win! Plus, if like me you’re not a morning person, no one need ever know! The time it takes for the Nutella Palmiers to crisp up in the oven you can have a sneaky cup of coffee to help you be bright eyed and bushy tailed when you take these back to the bedroom!

Are these still the nice the next day? Or better eaten the same day?
Hi Beth
As with most patries they are nicest the same day (especially if still a little warm out of the oven!) But they will still be nice the next day 🙂
Those look delicious!
