FAQs
Make Ahead and Storage:
How far in advance can I make these Handheld Pies?
You can make these Halloween pies a couple of days in advance, but they are best when fresh and right out of the oven
Storage: Store leftover Halloween Pastries covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days
Reheating: Reheat puff pastries in the oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them to heat them up
Reheating Side Note: The marshmallow and chocolate chip eyes will probably melt during the reheating process
What Else Can I Fill Pastry Handheld Pies With?
- chocolate – melt chocolate chips and add to the center
- apple pie filling
- pumpkin pie filling – you’ll want to add other ingredients to the filling like evaporated milk and spices before making it into a handheld pie
- fruit jam
- ham and cheese
- sausage and cheese
- hamburger meat – seasoned to make an empanada
- pie fillings – various
Tips and Tricks:
- line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and catch any stray jam that might run off of the pastry while baking
- fold the sides of your mummy with a short edging to prevent the jam from running
- don’t overthink the mummy bandages. The more uneven they are, the better
- do brush an egg wash over your pastry to get that golden brown color
- do not add the eyes until your pastry is done baking
Are you ready to make these fun Halloween Breakfast Pastries? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- puff pastry sheets – I found mine in the freezer aisle of my grocery store. It comes with 2 sheets that are folded up. You’ll unfold them and use the long strips of 3 to make your pies. You should get around 6 mummy pies
- jam – I happened to have blackberry jam, but you can substitute it with your favorite jam flavor
- large egg – this will be used to make an egg wash that you’ll brush onto the pastry before baking it
- water – another ingredient in your egg wash
- mini marshmallows – you’ll need one per mummy for the eyes
- mini chocolate chips – you might need to dip these into the sticky jam so they will glue to your marshmallow
