Step 1

Combine sugar, pecans, and cinnamon in a mini-chopper and process until sandy. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unfold pastry and brush with egg. Spread sugar mixture over pastry. Cut in half, then cut into 8 (1cm) strips. Twist strips. Lay on pans, pushing ends down with your thumb. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes, until firm.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 200C/Gas 6.

Step 3

Bake until golden, rotating pans halfway, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
