Transfer the prepared pieces to the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 5cm (2 inches) apart to allow for expansion.
Whisk the egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush each pastry thoroughly with the egg wash.
Generously sprinkle sliced almonds over each piece, followed by a light dusting of granulated sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are deeply golden brown and puffed. The bottom should be well-baked and crispy.
