Instructions

Thaw the pastry sheets as given in the pack. If frozen then refrigerate it overnight and keep it in room temperature. Once the pastry is pliable start with the process.
Put some sugars on flat surface such as wooden board. Keep the pastry sheet on top of sugar and dust some sugar on top and spread evenly.
Roll the sheet flat gently using a rolling pin so that sugar is pressed into the pastry on top and bottom.
Fold the both the sides of the sheet towards the center so the folds meet exactly at the middle of sheet.
Again fold one half over the other like closing a book. It will look like a log, then slice into small pieces of about 1 inch wide.
Arrange it on parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle some sugar on top if desired. It will puff up a lot so make sure they are few inches apart.
Refrigerate until preheating the oven to 180°C. Then bake for 18 to 20 minutes until it turns brown.
Let it cool completely and it will become crispier once cooled.
