Mummy hot dogs are a fun, spooky snack made by wrapping juicy hot dogs in flaky puff pastry or bacon strips, then baking until golden and crispy. The hot dogs become warm and savory inside a crispy, bandaged exterior, often decorated with small edible eyes for a playful touch. Perfect for Halloween parties or quick, festive bites, they combine comforting flavors with a touch of spooky charm.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs juicy and smoky
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon water to mix with egg
  • optional small olives or cheese bits for eyes or decorations
  • to taste seasonings garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out creases and slightly enlarge it.
  3. Cut the pastry into strips about 1/2 inch wide, which will serve as the bandages wrapping the hot dogs.
  4. Wrap each hot dog with the pastry strips, starting at one end and spiraling around, leaving a small section of hot dog exposed at each end.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart so they have room to crisp up.
  6. Mix the beaten egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash, then brush it generously over the pastry to give it a shiny, golden finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the hot dogs from the oven and let them cool slightly until safe to handle.
  9. If desired, add small olive or cheese bits as eyes or decorations on the pastry bandages for a spooky effect.
  10. Serve immediately while crispy and warm, enjoying the playful, bandaged appearance and delicious savory flavor.

Notes

For extra spookiness, add small edible eyes or decorations. Adjust baking time for crisper or softer pastry as preferred.
