Sweet and surprisingly simple to make, palmiers cookies are French favourites (also known as elephant ears, palm trees or butterflies). They are light and sweet, ideal to have on hand to serve with a strong coffee. Drizzling a little honey on while they are hot is a divine touch also. You could also make a savoury palmier, filled with pesto, ham and cheese or olive tapenade and parmesan. These are good as a pre-dinner drink or lunchtime snack.
