(2) Reform into an oval shape.
(3) Roll out the pastry 3 mm thick and cut into strips 15 mm wide and 30 cm in length.
(4) Wrap the suprêmes in the strips of paste, spiraling and just overlapping the paste from the pointed end to the bone.
(5) Eggwash then allow to rest for as long as possible (approximately 1 hour).
