12 peppercorns pepper
to taste ketchup

Tools

Preparing the hot dog spiders

1 – Unroll the puff pastry and divide it into six equal parts. On each portion spread a teaspoon of ketchup and place a piece of hot dog in the center of the rectangle.
2 – Wrap the hot dog in the puff pastry to create a candy-like shape.
3 – Using a sharp knife or another blade, cut the ends into three sections to create the little legs.
4 – Twist each leg section around itself.
5 – Place the spiders on the baking sheet, trying to shape the body and arrange the legs as shown in the photo.
6 – Once ready, bake in a preheated oven at 356°F, conventional (no fan), until golden. When cooled, make the eyes by adding a drop of ketchup and a peppercorn.
