Make Your Own Witches Fingers

Ingredients:

• 1 packet ready-made puff pastry, defrosted
• 4 oz grated cheddar cheese
• Almonds or pumpkin seeds for the nails

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
2. Cut your defrosted block of pastry into 4 equal squares.
3. Roll out one portion of pastry thinly, and sprinkle some grated cheese all over it.
4. Fold the pastry into the centre in thirds lengthways, then fold in from the top and bottom in thirds again.
5. Now cut into strips roughly finger width and length in size. You can use a fork to create ‘knuckle lines’ if you like!
6. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
7. Brush the witches fingers with egg wash and place an almond or a pumpkin seed (for the witchy nail!) into the top and bake for approx 10-15 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire tray. Enjoy!
