Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more stunning effect 😍: add a few drops of red food coloring to the jam for a “bloody” look worthy of Halloween! 💉🩸 And if you like crunch, dust with a little powdered sugar after baking 👻

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture of the puff pastry and jam deteriorates.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Puff pastry softens quickly. Eat fresh for optimal crispness.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Assemble and bake just before eating to ensure crispness.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheating softens the puff pastry and compromises the crispness.

Variations

Use raspberry jam.
Sprinkle with brown sugar for a caramelized effect.
Place the sugar eyes on the pastries while still slightly warm.

Mistakes to avoid

Filling right to the edge: leave a border free.
Not sealing the edges well: seal by hand or with a fork.
Placing the eyes too early: wait until the surface is only slightly warm.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make mummy puff pastries?

Cut the dough into 6 rectangles, spread jam on 3, cut strips from the other 3, lay them on top, seal the edges, brush with egg yolk and bake for 15 minutes at 180 °C.

How do you create the bandage effect?

On 3 rectangles, cut horizontal strips to create the look of mummy bandages, then place them over the jam-topped rectangles, sealing the edges well.

How do you place the eyes?

Let cool for a few minutes, then place two sugar eyes on each mummy while the surface is still slightly warm, so they stick.
