What’s better than a Christmas tree? One made out of puff pastry…
So if you’re looking for something to serve up at a festive bash, this could be the perfect recipe for you. Anna, who posts on TikTok @anna_louisa_at_home, captioned the video: “Another idea for a ‘bring a board night’ or just an extra little something for the Christmas table.”
She said they were “surprisingly easy” to make, explaining the recipe was edited from Jus-Roll’s website, and took “just 15 minutes to bake”. The addition she made was adding the delicious Biscoff spread.
Anna then showed herself assembling the puff pastry on a stick before putting the pastry star on top of it.
First, she said: “Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 6. Unroll the pastry sheet, cut off a quarter from the length and set aside.”
Then, people need to spread Biscoff over the remaining three-quarters of the pastry. Anna suggested to use a sharp knife to “cut strips of pastry from the shorter side, approximately 2cm wide”.
She continued: “Carefully pick up a strip of pastry and fold back and forth on itself, starting wider at the bottom (5-6cm) and narrower at the top, like a Christmas tree (see video for reference).”
The foodie then said people should “take a wooden skewer and push through the middle of each layer, making sure the layers are spread out evenly. Leave enough skewer at the top for the stars”.
“Stamp out small stars from the remaining pastry with a small cookie cutter. Skewer a star onto the top of each tree,” she continued.
Then, once all the prep has been done, you should ransfer the trees to a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the pastry is “puffed up and golden”.
When serving, you can “sprinkle with a light dusting of icing sugar”.
In the comments, someone suggested in the future she used “cinnamon and Nutella”, because they were her “favourite”.
“Oh my gosh this looks amazing,” another praised. Someone else gushed: “Now imagine that with cinnamon sugar on top.”
