According to India, the palmiers take three days to make – a process which involves making the dough, laminating it with butter to build up their characteristic layers and proving overnight.

She explained: “We bake the pastry on day three.

“It’s a long process and one that takes a lot of care and hard work.

“Sadly, we aren’t making vegan or gluten-free options with the palmiers, but we have lots of alternative options in store.”

All orders must be made by Thursday, February 12.
