Your recipe, Photos and instructions were very helpful. Since it looked very easy, I made some adding; before the sprinkle the remaining sugar on the top of the pastry , I add some cinnamon and mandarin orange zest .They came out lovely . Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Thanks for a brilliant recipe. This is so much better than the one I tried before. I’ve just posted my version on my blog and linked back here. Hope that’s ok.

My nana used to brush her elephant ears with a glaze before baking. I think it was brown sugar, a little molasses, ginger and a teaspoon or two of water. Half way thru baking you have to flip them carefully and brush them again. I would definitely use silpat mats. You could probably used corn syrup instead of molasses and swap out the ginger for cinnamon or whatever flavor evokes the Holmes family spirit! Happy Holidays!

Joy, your recipe and instructions were great. Mine turned out exactly as yours did and I kept a close eye on them when they were in the oven, so gorgeous. They’re surprisingly easy to make, I think I’ll make this often,

My grandma used to make the most fantastic palmiers. She told me that she used a special glaze on them, and she told me that when i was old enough (16) that she would tell me the “secret Holmes family glaze”. But just a few months ago, she died. And i just remebered the secret glaze after looking at your recipe (which looks fantastic by the way!), so i was wondering if you knew a glaze for these (maybe something with honey?) Thank You!

These look good! :) I don’t use as much sugar in my palmiers, I think that’s why yours looks yummier!
