For the pastry horns:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sprinkle some sugar on the counter and on top of the puff pastry and roll it out to a rectangle about 9 by 12 inches.
- Cut into 12 stripes (about 1 inch thick). Easy way to do it: cut the pastry in three parts, and then each part into four strips.
- Roll each strip onto a horn mold (conical in shape). The pastry has to overlap (about half of the length).
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with seem (end of the strip) side down.
- Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush lightly each pastry cone with the egg wash.
- Make sure you keep the egg wash away from the mold. It will make it harder to remove the pastry horn from the mold once baked.
- Bake at 400°F (200 °C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
- Let them cool down for a couple of minutes and gently remove from the mold. If the pastry sticks to the mold, you can press in the mold a little (to make the circumference smaller) and very gently turn it inside the pastry until it comes off.
- Before serving, fill with the cream using a piping bag. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you like, and
- enjoy!
