No tricks, just treats! Get spooky in the kitchen and make scrumptious Stick sausage roll mummies. The perfect way to Duggee-fy your Halloween spread.
YOU WILL NEED (makes 10)
350g Pack frankfurter sausages
375g Ready-made puff pastry sheet
1 Egg
1 Carrot
2 Slices gouda cheese
A handful of basil leaves
Note: A grown up is needed to supervise and help with small pieces, preparation and baking.
METHOD
Preheat oven to 200°C (Gas mark 6/390°F). Line a large tray with baking paper.
Lay out the pastry sheet and gently roll with a rolling pin to about 5mm thick. Cut pastry into long thin strips, around 5mm wide.
Roll and cut out shapes for Duggee’s features in the same way and dampen with water to stick onto the head shapes.
Wrap strips of pastry around each sausage to turn them into spooky mummies.
Break the egg into a small bowl and lightly whisk. Place the pastry-wrapped sausages on the lined baking tray, then brush with the egg.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the sausages are piping hot and the pastry is golden and puffed up. Once cooked, carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
Once cool enough to handle, turn your sausage mummies into stick characters:
Peel the carrot and cut out matchsticks for the legs and arms – 4 for each mummy. Push carrot arms and legs into the sausages, between the pastry strips.
Cut circles from the gouda cheese for the eyes using a small sharp knife. Cut tiny circles from basil leaves and add to the cheese for pupils.
Cut a small slit in the top of each sausage and use the tip of the knife to push a small basil leaf into it.
Finish with the cheese and basil eyes and serve immediately.
