Ingredients
  

  • 12 mini hot dogs
  • 2 x 165 grams (5.8 ounces, about 26 cm / 10.5 inches square) ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed.
  • 24 small candied eyes
  • a small amount of mustard mayonnaise, or ketchup for attaching the eyes

Instructions
 

Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

  • For each hot dog, cut two 26 cm (10.5 inches) long thin strips about 1 cm (0.39 inches) wide and two ½ cm (0.2 inches) wide pieces.
    Wrap one of the 1cm (0.39 inch) strips of pastry around the hot dog starting at the top and working your way down.
    When you come to the end of the first strip, attach the second strip to the end of the first.
    Then continue to wrap the pastry around working your way back up the sausage making sure to leave a gap for the eyes.
  • Next wrap around one at a time the two smaller pieces of pastry in the same way as in step 1. Repeat for the remaining hot dogs.1.
  • Place the prepared hot dogs onto a lined baking tray and place them in the fridge for at least 1 hour before baking.
  • About 15 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 200⁰C/400⁰F.
    Bake them in a hot oven until the pastry is puffed and light brown - this will take about 12 - 15 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before adding the eyes.
  • Use a little mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup on the back of the candied eyes and stick them to the hot dog.

Notes

  1. If you have a pizza cutter or pastry wheel, use these for quick and easy cutting. If you don't, a sharp knife will do.
  2. After wrapping the hot dogs in puff pastry, put them in the fridge to chill because chilled puff pastry puffs the best.
  3. These mummy hot dogs are not egg-washed and won't bake into a dark golden color, so don't overcook them expecting them to go darker. They are ready when the pastry looks cooked and is a pale golden color.
  4. If you can't get or don't want to use candied eyes, use dots of mustard or mayonnaise for the eyes.
