Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 bakings trays with baking paper. Cut each pastry sheet into 9 squares giving you 18 in total. Put even spoonfuls of the plum mixture into the centre of each pastry square. Lightly brush edges with egg. Fold over to form a triangle, pressing down edges to enclose filling. Place on prepared trays and lightly brush with egg. Repeat to make 17 more triangles. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until crisp and golden. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then dust with icing sugar to serve.
