Mini mummy puff pastries with fig jam

• 2 puff pastries
• 1 jar fig jam ( or cherry, blackcurrant... "black" jams)
• 1 egg yolk (for gilding)
• Chocolate chips or raisins (for the eyes) or sugar paste or almonds

Base preparation :

• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• Unroll the first puff pastry and cut it into equal-sized rectangles (approx. 5 cm x 8 cm). Each rectangle will form the base of the mummies.

Trim :

• Place a teaspoon of fig jam in the center of each rectangle.
• Create the dough strips: Take the second puff pastry and cut it into thin strips (approx. 1 cm wide). These strips will be used to create the mummies' "bandages".

Assembling the mummies :

• Take the cut strips and wrap them randomly around each jam-filled rectangle, to imitate mummy bandages.
• Leave a small opening at the top so that you can add the eyes after baking.

Gilding :

• Gently brush the puff pastries with egg yolk to ensure they are golden-brown when cooked.

Cooking :

• Place the mummies on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Finish :

• Once out of the oven, add two chocolate chips or raisins to each mummy to form the eyes.

Tip: Serve these mini mummies warm for an even more gourmet experience, with the crisp contrast of puff pastry and the sweetness of fig jam.

These mummy-shaped puff pastries are perfect for Halloween, as fun as they are delicious!
