Starting at the short sides, fold each side toward center, leaving a 1/4-inch space in the center. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Fold one side over the other, making a 4-layer rectangle. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet.Cut each rectangle into 12 (3/4-inch) slices, making 24 slices in all. Place the pastries cut-side down, 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg mixture.Bake the pastries for 12 minutes or until they're golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and cool them on wire racks.Dip half of each pastry into the melted chocolate.
