From one of the shorter ends carefully roll the pastry up to make a log.

 

 

 

 

Wrap the log in cling film & chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes & pre-heat the oven 180C/Fan160C/Gas 4.

 

Remove the log from the fridge & place on to a chopping board. Using a sharp knife cut the log into 12 even slices.

Place the slices on a baking sheet, space them out as they puff up!

 

 

 

Brush the swirls with egg & sprinkle with a little extra sugar.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown & puffy.

 

 

 

 

Cool on a wire rack then drizzle with a little icing if you like. (Mix 2 tbsp of icing sugar with enough water to make a runny icing.)
