Palmiers are very easy to make, if you have puff pastry dough (pate feuilletee) on hand. Just take a sheet of puff pastry dough, roll up the sides, and cross-cut in 1cm thick slices. Put these slices on a baking sheet (far apart, they will expand a lot), dust with sugar, and bake. Of course, the time-consuming part of all this is making the puff pastry dough in the first place. The book "Julia Child and Company" (or something like that) has a relatively quick puff pastry recipe that's supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it. -s
