Bloody Puff Pastry Hand

To prepare the bloody puff pastry hand, first create a paper template by tracing the outline of your hand on a sheet and cutting it out with scissors. Now take the roll of ready-made puff pastry and lay it out on a work surface along with its parchment paper, then sprinkle the surface with a bit of flour 1. Place the hand-shaped template you prepared on top 2 and cut the puff pastry along the outline with a sharp knife 3.

Repeat the process to get a second hand-shaped cutout from the puff pastry and remove the excess dough 4. Brush the edges of one of the two cutouts with water 5, then pour the raspberry jam in the center 6.

Cover the filling with the second puff pastry cutout, aligning the edges 7 and sealing them gently with your fingers 8. Use a Saint Honoré nozzle to mark the shape of the nails by pressing it gently on the fingertips 9.

Finally, make horizontal slits along the fingers to make them more realistic, being careful not to cut the dough too deeply 10. Now brush the surface of the filled hand with beaten egg yolk 11 and bake in a preheated static oven at 420°F for about 15-20 minutes. Once golden brown 12, take the bloody puff pastry hand out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving and cutting it!
