Sweet Stars
These are sprinkled with a little cinnamon and brown sugar, which melts as they bake. If you prefer a savoury snack, you can use some grated cheese instead.

Ingredients
1 sheet of puff pastry
1 egg beaten
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Method
Pre heat your oven to 200ÂșC/gas mark 6. Ask an adult to help you line a flat baking tray with a square of baking parchment.
Sprinkle a tabletop or counter with flour and spread your sheet of puff pastry onto it. The flour will stop it sticking.
Use cookie cutters to cut out pastry stars. It is good to have the stars a similar size, so they take the same amount of time to bake. Small ones will bake quicker than big ones. You can use two trays if you like, one for each size.
Lay the stars onto the tray that you covered with parchment.
Beat the egg in a glass or cup with a fork. Use a pastry brush and brush the beaten egg onto the stars on your tray. Sprinkle each star with some brown sugar and some cinnamon.
Ask an adult to put the tray into the heated oven and bake until the pastry is golden, about 15 minutes.
Once they are cool enough to handle move them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
