Make a diagonal cut from each corner towards center. Chop prunes into small pieces (or use food processor). Put spoonful into center and lift each corner of pastry towards center to form a star (sorta). Put on baking sheet and brush on beaten egg. Bake for 15 min or till golden brown. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar over top. Enjoy.
