Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and margarin in a bowl.
3. Unroll the pastry sheet, cut off about quarter lengthwise and set aside.
4. Spread the cinnamon sugar over the remaining pastry, then fold the pastry in half.
5. Roll it out with a rolling pin.
6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut strips of pastry lengthwise, approximately 2cm wide.
7. Pick up a pastry strip and fold back and forth on itself, leaving it wider at the bottom (about 5 cm) and narrower at the top (about 1cm),to look like a Christmas tree.
8. Push a wooden skewer through the middle of each folded pastry layer, then spread the layers out evenly on the skewer.
9. Repeat with the other strips. You should get about 9 trees. Put them on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
10. Using a cookie cutter, stamp out small stars from the remaining pastry.Put these on the baking tray too.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the pastry is puffed up and golden.
12. Let them cool, then push the stars on top of the tree skewers.
13. Sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving.
