2026 Palmier Festival

Imperial Patisserie's ingenious craftsmanship makes "Hong Kong’s No.1* Most Loved Palmiers"

The Michelin-starred team at Imperial Patisserie uses natural French butter and creates a secret recipe for the puff pastry with a rich butter flavor by repeatedly folding and rolling the water dough (dough) and oil dough (butter) hundreds of times. In order to highlight the crispy and fragrant taste of the butterfly cake, the team carefully adjusted the size of the palmier.

The baking process of Imperial Patisserie palmier is complicated. Unlike the common ones which are only baked once, Imperial Patisserie adopts four stages of baking at different temperatures to ensure that the palmier has the most perfect color and taste. The team first baked the puff pastry at a low temperature of 110°C to evaporate the excess moisture in the puff pastry and slowly melt the oil in the puff pastry, releasing a rich butter aroma. Then increase the temperature to 150°C to ensure that each layer of puff pastry expands evenly and is thoroughly baked. Then quickly bake the puff pastry at 180°C until it is crispy, making the puff pastry lighter. Finally, bake the puff pastry at 220°C until the surface is caramelized. The palmiers made with secret craftsmanship are attractively golden in color and have a unique crispy taste.
