Orange Sticks

Ingredients

• 1 sheet (14.1 oz) Puff pastry (Or plain pastry)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest (For orange filling)
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (For orange filling)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (For orange filling)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened (For orange filling)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (For lemon filling)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (For lemon filling)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (For lemon filling)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, softened (For lemon filling)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (For palm leaves)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch (3mm) thickness.
2. 2Cut the pastry into strips approximately 5 inches (12.5 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
3. 3Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. 4In a bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. 5Once the pastry strips have cooled, spread the orange filling on one strip and top with another strip to create a sandwich.
6. 6In a bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
7. 7Once the pastry strips have cooled, spread the lemon filling on one strip and top with another strip to create a sandwich.
8. 8Roll out remnants of puff pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle half the surface with powdered sugar, fold, press edges together, pat and roll out, using sugar for dredging board; repeat three times. After the last rolling fold four times. The pastry should be in long strip one and one-half inches wide. From the end, cut pieces one inch wide; place on baking-sheet, broad side down, one inch apart, and separate layers of pastry at one end to suggest a leaf. Bake eight minutes in hot oven; these will spread while baking.
