Cinnamon puff pastry stars

These Cinnamon puff pastry stars must be one of the easiest snacks to bake during the festivities. I like munching them on Christmas eve while watching Midnight Mass ( Santa is also very fond on them -  :). They accompany mulled wine perfectly or can be served with a mug of hot chocolate, coffee or tea-  so ideal as party nibbles or snacks during the festivities. I made them using gluten-free puff pastry, so they are not puffed up too much.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp muscovado sugar
  • 1 egg beaten

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Mix together your cinnamon and sugar, then scatter this mixture onto a flat plate or chopping board.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry and using a cookie cutter press out stars - I used 3 different sizes.
  5. Using a silicon brush, wet the top of the stars with the beaten egg, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar.
  6. Place them on the lined baking tray and bake for approx. 10-15 minutes (in the middle of the oven) until golden.
  7. Let them cool in the tray before transferring them onto a serving plate.
