Dust work
surface with flour. Place puff pastry dough sheets on work surface
and gently roll out with a rolling pin. Combine egg and water,
beat until mixed well to create "egg wash". Combine granulated,
brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped almonds, mix well. Brush pastry
sheets with "egg wash". Sprinkle sugar / nut mixture evenly
over pastry sheets. Roll up one side (like a jellyroll) but
stop when reaching the midpoint. Roll up remaining side in the
same fashion.

Apply egg wash in
the center where the two rolls meet and press together. Turn
over and carefully cut into ½ inch slices. Gently press slices
to flatten. Place Palmiers on a lined baking sheet and brush
with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven at 375 - 400 degrees
F until golden brown (10 -15 minutes)

Larry's Notes:
Puff pastry dough sheets are available in the frozen section
of the supermarket. It is important to keep puff pastry cold
until ready to use.
