- Using a large knife, cut a christmas tree shape out of the pastry and slice horizontal lines, roughly 1 inch apart, up each side of the tree. Ensure to leave about 2 inches uncut in the centre of the tree, where the trunk is.
- Cut stars out of the off cuts to avoid waste, placing one at the top of the tree and the rest on the tray, surrounding.
