Instructions
On a well-sugared surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle about 1/4" thick. It should be about twice as long as it is wide.
Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl.Run your finger down the middle of the long side of the dough, pressing to make an slight indentation.
Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar mixture and half of the pecans.Using this indentation as a guide, bring the top and bottom halves of the dough to the center, stopping just short of the indentation.
Brush only the right half of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar mixture and about half of the remaining pecans.Fold the bottom half of the dough over on top and press down lightly again with the rolling pin. Wrap the dough in plastic and place in freezer for about 10 minutes until very firm.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove dough from oven and slice into 1/4 inch pieces.
Place about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Lower oven heat to about 350 degrees F.Flip palmiers over carefully using a spatula, sprinkle with more of the sugar mixture. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until golden and the sugar has caramelized.
Let cool on wire racks before serving.
