Wild Strawberry Jam Palmiers

At the Lello table

Crisp, caramelized puff-pastry hearts with a restrained layer of wild strawberry jam. The recipe is written to keep the featured pantry ingredient precise and recognizable rather than overwhelming the plate.

Method

1. Scatter half the sugar on the work surface and place pastry over it. Spread thinly with jam and lemon zest.
2. Fold both long sides inward twice so they meet at the center; fold together and chill 15 minutes.
3. Slice into 18 pieces, coat lightly with remaining sugar and bake 16 to 20 minutes, turning once.

Cook’s notes

• Taste before adding more salt; the featured pantry ingredient should remain clear and balanced.
