Ingredients

  • 280g pack Just Rol gluten free puff pastry
  • 8 fresh frankfurter sausages/hotdogs Can be substituted for pork or veggie sausages
  • edible eyes
  • 20 ml (1.5 tbsp) dairy free milk for glazing Can be substituted for egg wash if there is no egg allergy.
  • honey for sticking on the edible eyes.

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200˚C / 180˚Fan / Gas mark 6.
  • Place the puff pastry sheet ( still attached to the backing paper) on a chopping board and slice the pastry into strips around 0.5 cm wide.
  • Prick the frankfurters with a fork a couple of times as this will help them not to split in the oven.
  • Lay a strip of puff pastry on the chopping board, place the bottom of the hot dog at one end of the pastry and roll the sausage around the pastry, creating a mummy effect.
  • Leave a little gap near the top though so you can put the eyes on (don’t do this though until they are cooked).
  • Using a basting brush, coat the pastry with the dairy free milk.
  • Place on a baking tray and cook in a hot oven for around 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crispy and brown.
  • Stick on the edible eyes by dipping the end of a skewer into some honey (or maple syrup) and placing the honey onto the back of the eyes, then just simply press down the eye into the gap at the top of the sausage.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitutions
  • Don’t Need It To Be Gluten Free? - Simply use the standard Just Rol puff pastry.
  • Egg Not A Problem? - Instead of using the milk, beat together a whole egg with a fork in a small bowl and coat the pastry with the egg wash.
  • No Edible Eyes? - If you prefer not to use the edible eyes, a healthy alternative is to cut small circles of dairy-free cheese, then cut an even smaller circle of black olive. Stick the olive to the top of the cheese with honey and then fix the whole thing to the sausage.
  • Sausages - You can also use regular sausages or vegan sausages, just increase the cooking time to 25-30 minutes to make sure the sausages are properly cooked through.
Top Tips
  • Remove Pastry From Fridge: Take the pastry out of the fridge 10 minutes before using and remove from the box but do not take off the plastic wrapping until ready to use. This will make handling the pastry easier. Don’t leave it much longer than this though as if it gets too warm the pastry will become soggy & hard to handle, If this happens, just sprinkle a little gluten-free flour over the top of the pastry and on your hands. This will help to dry it out.
  • Prick The Frankfurters:  Use a fork to let some of the steam escape while cooking. This will help them to not split.
  • Leave Space For The Eyes: Don’t forget to leave a little gap at the top of each sausage, so you have a space to stick the edible eyes.
  • Involve The Kids: Cooking mummy sausages can be a fun family activity, especially with kids. Let them help wrap the sausages and create their own mummy designs
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Mummy sausages are great with various dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.
