- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle it over the buttered pastry.
- Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and press to seal the edges.
- Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
