Ingredients That You’ll Need

• 1 package (8 count) beef or turkey hot dogs

• 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry (or crescent roll dough)

• 1 large egg (for egg wash)

• 1 tbsp water

• 2 tbsp yellow mustard or ketchup (for the “eyes”)

• Optional: sesame seeds for texture

• Optional: melted butter for extra golden finish

Step-by-Step Instructions

👻 Directions:

1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Pastry – Unroll your puff pastry (or crescent dough) on a lightly floured surface. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut thin strips (about ¼ inch wide) — these will be the mummy “bandages.”

3. Wrap the Hot Dogs – Starting at one end, wrap each hot dog with strips of dough, leaving small gaps so they look like mummies. Leave a small open space near the top for the “face.”

4. Egg Wash Magic – In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Brush this mixture lightly over the wrapped hot dogs for a golden finish.

5. Bake to Perfection – Place the mummies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

6. Add Their Eyes – Once slightly cooled, use a small dot of mustard or ketchup to create two “eyes” in the open space of each mummy’s face.

7. Serve and Scare! – Arrange your spooky little mummies on a platter. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces.
