Party food is not just for the little ones today. I actually did this 4 Steps to a Camembert Funny Mummy when my friends came over for dinner. The big kids in us meant that we dressed to impress in our very own ghoulish outfits and had great fun with the party food.
On the weekend I had a good fun baking with my eldest son and he made the shortcrust pastry himself.
We were also making minion ghosts which is a whole other story and I’ll be showing you them soon I’m sure.
So, back to the Camembert Funny Mummy for my dinner party. It is a lot of fun to make and is a good idea for a dinner or kids party as it can be fully prepared the day before and popped in the oven when your guests arrive.
Here you have my 4 Easy Steps:
1.
Pop one medium sized camembert cheese in the middle of some shortcrust pastry. Homemade or shop bought, whichever you wish to use is just fine.
2.
Cover your cheese with the smooth side uppermost. Don’t have too much pastry bunched up on the underside as this will stop it from baking evenly.
3.
Cut the remaining pastry into strips to make the ‘bandages’ and drape over in random cross hatching as shown above.
4.
Brush over an egg wash which is just one egg beaten with a fork to give a glossy looking baked pastry. Pop two currants or black olives on for the eyes and you are ready to put in the oven.
Bake for 35mins on 170 oc for fan assisted ovens.
Let me know how you get on!

Top Tip: Keep all your ingredients cold as this will make the best pastry, lovely and light!
