📌 Tip: You can use hot dogs, veggie sausages, or chicken sausages, depending on your crowd.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface.
- Cut into long, thin strips.
2. Wrap the Sausages
- Take each sausage and wrap with pastry strips, leaving small gaps to mimic “mummy bandages.”
- Place on a lined baking tray.
3. Bake Until Golden
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before decorating.
4. Add Creepy Details
- Dot mustard or ketchup for “eyes.”
- Drizzle ketchup around the platter to resemble fake blood.
5. Serve & Spook!
- Serve warm with dipping sauces at your Halloween party table.
Storage Information
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Wrap unbaked sausage mummies in clingfilm and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
- Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to keep them crispy.
Helpful Tips
- Use an egg wash (beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water) for an extra-golden pastry.
- Don’t overwrap – leaving gaps makes the mummy look creepier.
- Add cheese slices under the pastry for an oozy surprise.
- For an extra Halloween vibe, serve with “witches’ potion” dipping sauces, such as green guacamole or a spooky black bean dip.
Variations
- Mummy Hot Dogs: Use full-size hot dogs instead of cocktail sausages.
