INGREDIENTS 

250g plain flour 

50g soft salted butter*

125g salted butter  

100g cold water 

Chocolate spread of your choice! (as much as you like lol)

Icing sugar for dusting 

*I used vegan block butter for this recipe! Regular butter works too 

• Add 50g butter to the flour. Use a fork to combine the ingredients until you get a texture that resembles breadcrumbs 
• Pour in the cold water and knead into a dough. 
•  Roll the dough into a ball and leave covered to rest for 15 minutes

• Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the rest of the butter onto the dough evenly. Fold the dough in three sections. 
• Roll out the dough into a rectangle again and fold into three sections.
• Repeat the process 3 more times and then place the dough in the fridge for 20 mins
• Roll out the dough one final time. Cut it into two equal pieces and cut out a triangle with a little trunk at the bottom just like a tree on one piece

• Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper on the baking tray
• Spread your chocolate spread, and place the other sheet of dough ontop.
• Cut the dough to the shape of the tree, make slits on each side and twist them twice
• Cut out a star with the left over dough and place it on top

• Bake for 25 mins at 180C or until its golden brown 
• Dust with a icing sugar and enjoy :)
