Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.
Prepare the sausages: Take your sausages and slice them in half lengthwise if they’re large. This helps them cook evenly while ensuring that each bite has plenty of flavor.
Roll out the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your puff pastry until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. You want it thin enough to wrap around but still sturdy enough to hold its shape.
Cut strips of pastry: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into thin strips. Aim for about 1/4-inch wide—these will be used to wrap around your sausages like cozy mummy bandages.
Wrap the sausages: Take each strip of puff pastry and wrap it around your sausage pieces. Leave some gaps for eyes; remember, mummies need facial expressions too!
Brush with egg wash: Place the wrapped sausages on your baking sheet and brush them generously with egg wash. This will give them that irresistible golden color when baked.
Bake until golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Serve with dips: Remove them from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with mustard or ketchup on the side. Enjoy watching everyone devour these cute little mummies!
And there you have it—a deliciously spooky snack that will keep everyone coming back for more!
