Savory Mushroom Palmiers
(Elephants Ears)

Ingredients
2 tsp cooking oil
1 cup finely chopped onion(food processor)
1 tsp butter
2 cups finely chopped fresh mushrooms (use shitake) (food processor)
4 tsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt (omitted)
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder( use garlic salt)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 (397g) pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets of Pampas Puff Pastry, ready rolled)




Method

• Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Saute until soft. Spoon into a small bowl and set aside.

• Add butter and mushrooms to pan. Saute until golden. Add onion to mushrooms. Sprinkle with flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. (garlic salt and pepper)

• Stir n sour cream until mixture is thickened. Cool

• Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to rectangle measuring 11 x 13 inches. Cut lengthwise down the center, forming 2 long rectangles. Divided mushroom and onion mixture between the 2 rectangles. Spread evenly, leaving 1/2 inch space down each side.(Pampas Puff Pastry ready roll, baking paper)

• Roll each long side to meet in center, just touching each other. Dampen pastry along each edge and press together lightly. (eggwash)

• Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 to 40 minutes in the refrigerator.(baking paper)
• Preheat oven to 375F (200C). lightly grease a baking sheet (not necessary)

• Cut each chilled roll into 24 slices, each slice about 1/2 inch wide. Arrange on prepared baking sheet, cut side down. Lightly press with a spatula or your fingers.(less than 24 slices)
• Bake in upper third of preheated oven for about 12 minutes until golden(20mins).  Serve warm.

Note: I have about 2 tablespoons excess filling, which I spread on a buttered toast. For palmiers to look more palm like, fold and press pastry instead of rolling. I find it difficult to do so with the mushrooms filling. My palmiers are more like Elephants Ears.

The Beatitudes

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.

A spiritual hunger for the bread of life and thirst for the living water, our life will be filled with the love of Christ.
