With a sharp knife, cut pastry lengthwise into 1/3-in.-wide strips. Twist each strip loosely a couple of times and put on an ungreased baking sheet (push ends onto sheet to keep straw from untwisting; you may need 2 sheets). Put straws in freezer for 20 minutes so they firm up, then dab tops of strips lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
