Preheat the oven

• Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Cut the pastry into strips

• Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into thin strips with kitchen scissors or a knife.

Wrap the sausages

• Brush the sausages lightly with mustard if using.
• Wrap each sausage with pastry strips in a criss-cross pattern, leaving a small gap for the eyes so they look like little mummies.

Brush with egg wash

• Place the wrapped sausages on the baking tray and brush the pastry with beaten egg.

Bake until golden

• Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed, golden and crisp.

Serve warm

• Let them cool slightly, then pile onto a Halloween platter and serve warm.
