As per tradition, the Royal Family will spend their Christmas Day at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Most senior members of the family turn up for the day as part of a “regimented” celebration, in which they will attend church services, exchange gifts, and hand out Christmas puddings and trees. This year, one of the Queen’s special has been revealed ahead of time.

The official Royal Family Instagram account announced on Saturday that its royal pastry chefs have been busy rustling up cinnamon stars.

The talented bakers shared their recipe for the delicately made treats to the delight of royal fans.

The caption of the post read: “The Royal pastry chefs are excited to share their recipe for ‘Cinnamon Stars’ with you to enjoy over Christmas.”

Many fans asked how to prevent the sweet biscuits from going stale, to which the chefs replied: “To all our followers who have been asking, the Cinnamon Stars will keep in an airtight container for up to two months. Enjoy!”

Full instructions read: “Whip the icing sugar, egg white and lemon juice into a soft peak meringue. Take out 1/3 and set aside.

“To the remaining meringue add ground almonds, mixed peel, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, ground cloves. Knead the dough together with your hands. Flatten and place a sheet of baking paper on top.

“Roll out to 1com thickness, remove paper from top. Spread over the 1/3 meringue from earlier. Keeping it as smooth as possible.

“Cut into shapes with a knife or cutters – be creative! Star, diamond and moon shapes work well.”

For the baking part, the instructions recommended baking in the oven at 160 celcius fan “until you are able to gently lift the edges off the paper”. Then decorate.

Sandy Lendacki commented: “Little masterpieces. Huge endeavour!’

Another fan replied: “Thank you !! I will definitely try this recipe! Hope to visit England on Holiday in the summer en route to Greece!”
