• Next, roll each end of the puff pastry halfway up and keep it for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

• Then cut slices about 1 centimeter wide.
• Prepare the baking tray with baking paper and place the puff pastry palms, leaving a little space between each one.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180º for about 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned. You have to be careful because they burn quickly.
• Then let them cool on a wire rack.
• If you want, you can heat half a bar of chocolate in a bain-marie and paint or dip half of the palmeritas with the chocolate.

Now the orange-flavored palmeritas are ready.
