Christmas Tree Pastry (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted.
02 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
03 -
1/4 cup sugar.
04 -
2 sheets of puff pastry, choose regular or gluten-free.
05 -
8 wooden skewers.
06 -
8 Rolo chocolates (optional).
07 -
Powdered sugar for sprinkling.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven to 350°F and prep your baking tray with parchment paper. Blend the sugar and cinnamon in a little bowl.
02 -
Lay one pastry sheet out on parchment, brush it with half the butter, and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top. Place the second sheet directly over it.
03 -
Slice into 1-inch-wide strips using a pizza cutter. Fold each strip back and forth like a fan, then insert a skewer through the middle to hold the shape.
04 -
Coat with the rest of the melted butter and pop them into the freezer for about 10 minutes.
05 -
Bake for 15-20 minutes until they're flaky and golden. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them and, if you'd like, stick a Rolo at the bottom for a base.
# Notes:
01 -
Let puff pastry thaw to room temperature first.
02 -
Best enjoyed on the same day.
03 -
Snip skewers shorter for smaller trees if needed.
