Now, let's make these creepy-cute mummy Halloween hot dog mummies!
Ingredients
- 500 g of flour
- 10 g of salt
- 20 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 150 g butter
- 150 ml water at room temperature
- Sausages of your choice
- 1 beaten egg
How to Make Sausage Mummies?
Step 1: Prep Your Dough
Combine the flour, salt, sugar, egg, and water in a large bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. Then, add in the butter and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. You want it to be smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. Once the dough is just right, let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roll It Out
Once the dough has rested, sprinkle a little flour on your work surface and grab a rolling pin. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 5mm thick (about ¼ inch). Then, cut the dough into strips about 2 cm wide. This will become the “bandages” for your mummy food!
Step 3: Wrap Your Mummies
Now, it's time to wrap your mummy hot dogs puff pastry! I usually do this with the kids. Just take each sausage and wrap a strip of dough around it, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. The messier the wrap, the better—it gives that authentic mummy fingers Halloween food look. Don’t forget to leave room for the “eyes” later on!
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place your Halloween sausage fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each one with beaten egg to give them a golden-brown glow in the oven. Bake at 374°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Step 5: Add the Spooky Touches
Now, for the finishing touch, turn these into proper mummy sausage rolls—the eyes! Once your mummies have cooled a little, use small pieces of cheese, whole cloves, or peppercorns to make eyes. You can also use edible googly eyes for extra fun. The eyes make these mummy fingers come to life!
Zulay's Tips for the Perfect Mummy Sausages
- Switch Up the Sausages: You can make mummy hot dogs puff pastry with classic beef franks, mini halloweenies hot dogs, or even veggie sausages for a meatless twist.
- Flaky or Puff Pastry?: For a different texture, you can swap out homemade dough for store-bought puff pastry to create light and flaky Halloween pigs in blanket fingers.
- Add Some Flavor: Want to spice things up? Sprinkle a little garlic powder or herbs into the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
Perfect Sauce Pairings for Your Mummy Fingers
Now that your Halloween mummies are baked to perfection, it’s time to serve them with some delicious dipping sauces. Here are a few ideas to elevate your mummy appetizers:
- Classic Ketchup & Mustard: You can’t go wrong with this classic duo. Plus, the red ketchup looks extra spooky when paired with mummies Halloween.
- BBQ Sauce: A smoky BBQ sauce adds a savory, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the buttery dough.
- Cheese Dip: Melt some cheddar cheese into a gooey dip and serve alongside your applesauce mummies.
- Spicy Mayo: Mix some mayo with hot sauce for a spicy, creamy dipping option for adults.
Fun Variations for Mummy Sausages
- Cheesy Mummy Fingers: Add a slice of cheese inside the dough before wrapping for a cheesy surprise in every bite.
- Sweet and Savory: For a twist, sprinkle a little brown sugar or honey over the dough before baking for a slightly sweet mummy recipe.
- Veggie Mummies: Replace the sausages with baby carrots or zucchini sticks to create a healthier mummy foodoption that still looks just as spooky.
