Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. Unroll the puff pastry sheet, lightly brush all over with water and sprinkle with the sugar. Using a Christmas tree cutter (or draw your own template) stamp out Christmas tree shapes. Put on a baking sheet, leaving space between each tree. Bake for 10-12 minutes until risen and golden. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a little more sugar, if liked. Serve with whipped cream and jam.
