Ingredients:
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400F. Combine sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle work surface with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar. Place pastry sheet on cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle top of pastry sheet with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar. Rollout pastry sheet to 12″ square. Trim sides neatly if necessary.

Fold right side, then left side over to meet center line. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over. Fold left side over right side to form thin pastry rectangle, about 12″ long by 1 1/2″ wide.
