Equipment

  • 2 Large Baking Sheets

Ingredients

Dough:

Assembly

  • 24 Wieners
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Candy eyes or sliced olives

Instructions

Dough:

  • Measure flours, corn starch, and xanthan gum into the bowl of your food processor, blitz to combine.
  • Add cream cheese, butter, and egg, blitz a few times until mixture resembles gravel.
  • Stream in cold water as you run the food processor, just long enough to bring it together as a dough.
  • Remove dough from processor, knead lightly to bring it together as a ball.
  • Wrap in plastic film, allow to rest for 1 hour.

Assembly:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F, line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • On work surface LIGHTLY dusted with corn starch, roll dough out to ⅛" thickness.
  • Note: Avoid using any more corn starch then absolutely necessary - it can dry out your dough and make it prone to breaking.
  • Use a pizza wheel to cut it into thin strips.
  • Carefully wrap strips of pastry dough around a weiner, leaving some open area for the eyes (after baking).
  • I will usually roll one strip in a diagonal spiral one way, then a second spiral criss-crossing the first.
  • Squeeze all over, to join layers of dough to each other.
  • Arranged wrapped wieners on prepared baking pan.
  • In a small bowl or cup, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water until smooth.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush this egg wash all over each wrapped wiener.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes. For a more browned finish, do a second brushing of egg wash, bake for an additional 2 minutes.
  • I like to spoon a Tablespoon or so of mustard into a piping bag, and pipe two little spots to glue the confectionary eyeballs down.
  • You can skip the eyeballs entirely, if you like - mustard and/or olive slices work, too!
  • Serve hot, with mustard and/or ketchup as dip.

Notes

This makes a lot of dough - about 2 lbs. I'll usually only use half, and make 12 of these.
I'll keep the rest in the fridge, usually making half a batch of mummy jalapeno poppers with it (recipe on the blog!).
