Step #1
Make up your dough and divide into 30 balls – cover and rest for 10 minutes. Roll out each ball into a thin sausage shape and place on a baking tray.
Step #2
With a sharp knife create some thin lines around the knuckles.
Step #3
Shape what will be the top of the finger and insert a blanched almond to look like a finger nail. Cover with a damp tea towel; lightly oiled plastic or polythene and prove in a warm place for 20 - 25 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step #4
Remove the cover. Bake on the middle or lower shelf of a preheated oven at 220°C, (425°F, Gas Mark 7) for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step #5
Now decorate the fingers - blacken around the nail and paint the knuckles green.
Step #6
You could even paint the end red for that just severed look! Our member Sue Garrod, likes to add a strong blue cheese to the bread mix dough and calls them "Mouldy Fingers" at Halloween time - here she is with her Halloween rolls.
