Divide dough into 20  and form cones.

There are certainly several ways to create a cone, but I did it this  way.
Double-layer aluminum foil wrapped round a pastry tube / ice cream cone . Fill it with rice and close firmly.

Cut some triangles of parchment paper and wrap outside the aluminium foil.
Roll one of the 20 pieces dough into a long cigar and spin it aroundt the cone-form. Starting at the tip and spin up. Place them on baking sheet with baking paper with the seam facing down.

Let them rise 30 minutes and then brush with lightly beaten egg.
