Ingredients :
300g flour
125g caster sugar

Cut pastry in half, adding cocoa to one half.
On a floured work surface, roll out each lump of pastry into a rectangle of about 3mm in thickness.
Brush the plain pastry with half of the egg white that is left and stick to the chocolate pastry. Brush with the rest of the egg white and roll up the pastry to make a log-shape.

Leave to cool before eating.
