Brush the edges with egg and bring the sides to the centre. Press together with the fingertips to seal. Place on a baking sheet. Using scissors, snip the pastry edge in diagonal cuts, about 1 cm (i inch) inwards. Glaze with beaten egg and bake in a preheated moderately hot oven (190°C/375°F, Gas Mark 5) for 20 minutes. Glaze again with egg and return to the oven for a further 10 to 15 minutes baking. Wrap each pastry in foil for carrying to the picnic.
