During a go-around the aircraft was on the upwind at 800 feet MSL when the engine lost all power and the engine began wind milling. The instructor performed the engine failure in flight checklist with no restart. The instructor made a radio call to tower 'Tower; Aircraft X [has an] emergency engine failure' the engine restarted 'we have it back I want the first available runway.' Tower responded 'Cleared to land.' The instructor executed a normal landing and turned right on taxiway. Tower wanted to know if any further assistance was needed. The instructor responded 'Negative.' and taxied back to the ramp under aircraft's own power.
GA pilot reported the engine quit in the pattern. Engine was restarted successfully and a normal landing ensued.
