Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 8 cocktail sausages or 4 regular sausages, cut in half
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 16 mustard seeds or black sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Flour, for dusting
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Grated cheddar cheese (optional)
- Ketchup or mustard, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour work surface. Unfold puff pastry and roll out slightly to smooth creases, about 3mm thick.
- Cut pastry lengthwise into strips about 1cm (½ inch) wide (12-14 strips).
- Place a sausage at the end of a pastry strip and wrap at a slight angle, overlapping slightly. Leave a small gap at the top for the face.
- Arrange wrapped sausages on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2cm (1 inch) space between each.
- Press two mustard seeds into the exposed sausage at the top of each mummy for eyes.
- In a small bowl, beat egg with milk. Brush egg wash over pastry strips only (not the exposed sausage).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with dipping sauce.
Notes
Use pre-cooked sausages to ensure they cook through. Don’t overwork the pastry; keep it cold for best puff. Egg wash helps strips stick and gives golden color. Let cool 5 minutes before eating to avoid burns.
