03 — Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) fan and line the baking sheet with parchment paper so the fingers don’t stick.
- Unroll the puff pastry, sprinkle grated Emmental all over, then cut it into long strips about 2 cm (¾ in) wide for the witch fingers.
- Gently roll each strip into a slightly uneven finger, then make two small knife marks in the middle for the knuckle creases.
- Put the fingers on the sheet, brush with beaten egg, then press an almond into the end of each one for the witch’s long pointy nail.
- Dust lightly with paprika for a creepy tint, then bake for 15 minutes until golden and puffed but still a little pale.
- Let the witch fingers cool for a few minutes on a rack, then stand them up in a glass or lay them on a platter with a little ketchup for dripping blood.
