Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

  • 1 tablespoon Ketchup
  • 10 Hot Dog Rolls

Instructions

  • Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the mummy dogs in the air fryer basket and air fry for 6-8 minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy (you may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
    ¼ teaspoon Olive Oil Spray
  • Stick the edible candy eyes on with a dab of tomato ketchup and serve in the brioche rolls.

Notes

Hot Dogs - use your favourite brand of pre-cooked tinned/jarred hot dogs. Drain and pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel before using them. Raw sausages wouldn't work in this recipe. Firstly, they might not cook fully in the air fryer in the specified time, and secondly, they will release too much water and fat while cooking making the pastry soggy.
 
Variations:
  • Stick the edible eyes on with cream cheese instead of ketchup.
  • Oven bake the mummy dogs instead of air frying. Bake in the oven at 200C for 30 minutes.
  • Swap the puff pastry for pizza dough.
  • Use mini hot dogs for a smaller version.
  • Try different dipping sauces. BBQ sauce, mustard, and sweet chilli sauce all work well.
 
Storage:
Store: Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: In the air fryer or hot oven for a few minutes. Microwaving is not recommended. If you will be reheating them, don't attach the edible eyes until after they have been reheated. The mummy dogs can also be eaten at room temperature, so why not pack leftovers in lunchboxes the next day?
Freeze: Allow the mummy dogs to cool completely then freeze for up to 3 months. Air fryer or oven bake from frozen.
