Trees-lets

 125 g plain flour (add 1/2tsp of xanthan gum if using GF)

60g unsalted butter, cold from fridge

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg, beaten for egg wash 

3 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp salt 

Preheat the oven to 200°c and line two baking trays with baking paper. 

In a bowl add the flour and salt and rub the butter into the mixture until you have fine breadcrumbs. Add the maple syrup and water and bring together into a smooth dough. If you find you mix too dry add more water a little at a time. 

Roll as thin as possible, using a small Christmas tree cutter, cut out as many shapes as you can. Place onto a lined baking tray. 

Brush over with the beaten egg and pop into the oven for 5 minutes. 

In a large bowl add the nutritional yeast and salt and blend together to make a fine powder. After the 5 minutes place the half cooked Trees-lets into the bowl and coat in the mixture. 

Place the Trees-lets back onto the tray and bake for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the Trees-lets over and bake on the other side for a further 5 minutes. 

Leave to cool completely before enjoying. These will keep in an airtight container for 2 days (if they hang around that long).
