👩🍳 Directions
Get ready to bring your spooky mummies to life — step by step!
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Unroll your puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface or cutting board.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into thin strips about ½ inch wide.
These strips will become your mummy “bandages.”
Step 3: Wrap the Sausages
Pat the sausages dry with paper towels (this helps the pastry stick better).
Starting at one end, wrap a strip of pastry around each sausage, slightly overlapping as you go. Leave small gaps so the sausage peeks through — just like a mummy’s bandages!
Make sure to leave a little space near the top for the “face” where the edible eyes will go later.
Pro Tip: Don’t wrap too tightly — the pastry will expand as it bakes.
Step 4: Brush with Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk the egg to make your egg wash.
Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each wrapped sausage.
This will give your mummy bandages that perfect golden color once baked.
Step 5: Bake the Mummies
Place the wrapped sausages on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before decorating.
Step 6: Add the Eyes
Once slightly cooled, give your mummies their spooky faces! 👀
Attach edible eyes using small dabs of ketchup, mustard, or cream cheese as “glue.”
If making DIY eyes, cut tiny circles of cheese for the whites and place a small piece of black olive in the center for pupils.
Optional: For extra fun, draw tiny mouths or stitches with a dab of mustard or olive paste!
Step 7: Serve with “Spider Sauce”
Arrange your mummies on a platter.
In a small bowl, swirl tomato ketchup or mustard into a spider web design using a toothpick or skewer.
Serve the mummies with this spooky “spider web” dip for the ultimate Halloween presentation!
