Mummy Franks And Vampire Dip

Mummy Franks or Mummy Dogs

These are hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry to look like Mummies.

Ingredients:

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
8 pork or beef hot dogs
mustard or ketchup ( or tomato sauce dending on where you live )

Method

1.Preheat oven to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.

2.Optional: Cut a slit in the hot dog and insert a piece of cheese.

3.On lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry dough slightly to remove creases and cut into 16 strips.

4. Wind strips around a hot dog, starting at the bottom, pulling dough slightly and overlapping a bit so the dough looks like bandages. When one strip runs out, add another and keep on wrapping. Leave a space near the top for the face and then keep wrapping to make a cap at the top. Be sure that the cheese is covered with the dough if you used cheese.

5.Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

6.Bake for 13-18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown and hot dogs are hot.

7.Remove from oven and draw eyes on the exposed hot dog using mustard or ketchup.

8.Serve with Vampire Dip. Serves 8
