Halloween Sausage Mummies

These are super quick to make, use pre-cooked sausages for the best result. Serve with a bowl of tomato sauce for dipping.

Makes: 8 MUMMIES

INGREDIENTS

500 grams pre-rolled savoury shortcrust pastry
8 long frankfurter or hot dog sausages
1 egg, lightly beaten
honey or mustard for sticking
edible eyes

 

METHOD

Equipment: Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Preheat the oven to 200ºC fan bake. 

Cut the pastry into long 5mm-wide strips. 

Prick the frankfurters with a fork a couple of times — this should mean they won’t split in the oven.

Lay a strip of puff pastry on the bench and roll it around the sausage creating a mummy effect, leaving a little gap near the top for the eyes. Brush the pastry with egg wash. 

Place the mummies on the prepared tray and bake for about 20 minutes until the pastry is golden. Cool until just warm. 

Dab a little honey or mustard on the back of the eyes and press into the gap of the pastry.
