Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, caster sugar and cinnamon. Mix until smooth, then set aside.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out both puff pastry sheets until slightly larger. Cut each sheet into a large Christmas tree shape (a big triangle with a small trunk cut from the excess pastry).
- Place one tree on the lined tray and spread the cinnamon butter evenly over the surface, leaving a small border. Lay the second puff pastry tree on top and gently press around the edges to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal slits along both sides of the tree, about 2 cm apart, leaving a 5–6 cm strip intact down the centre. Twist each strip 1–2 times to form the branches.
- Brush the tree with the beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. And bake for 25–30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- For the glaze, whisk the icing sugar and milk together until smooth and pourable.
- Once the pastry tree has slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top in a zig-zag pattern and serve.
