Kids love this one. My mom made it for me as did her mom. If making for a small child, cut the hot dogs into fourths length wise. The cheese is always optional.

1 package (8 count size) hot dogs or smoked sausage links
1 can (8 count size) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Place the pigs in a blanket on an ungreased baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Serve the pigs in a blanket immediately with ketchup, mustard, or cheese sauce for dipping.

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

PIGS IN A BLANKET



Pigs in a Blanket image

For decades, pigs in a blanket have been a staple on the cocktail-party circuit. The little sausages are the easy part. It's the pastry which, at its finest, should approximate buttery, flaky French puff pastry or pâte feuilletée. Suppose you could make decently flaky puff pastry in minutes? Christian Leue, the manager of La Boîte, a spice emporium in New York, has developed just such a marvel. And it works.

Categories     easy, snack, finger foods, appetizer

Time 3h30m

Yield 48 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks salted butter, frozen
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
48 cocktail franks
Flour, for rolling
Mustard, for dipping

Steps:

  • Make the pastry: Cut each stick of frozen butter into four pieces and grate using a shredding disc in a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse until the dough comes together. (This can also be done by hand, using a box grater to shred the butter, working the flour into it with your fingertips or a fork, then mixing in the sour cream.)
  • Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a zipper-top sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
  • Make the pigs in a blanket: Heat a 10-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, on medium. If your cocktail franks came in a plastic package, pat them dry on paper towels. Place the franks in the pan and cook, turning, frequently, until they're lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Remove dough from sandwich bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. Roll each square of dough on a lightly floured board into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut each into four 9-by-3-inch strips, then cut each strip crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch sections. You should have 48 rectangles that are each 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place a cocktail frank on each piece of dough, across the rectangle so the longer side can be wrapped around the frank. Roll the dough around the frank, moisten the edge with water and press closed. Place each wrapped frank seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze, then let come to room temperature and warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with mustard alongside for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right dough: Puff pastry or crescent roll dough are the most common choices for pig in a blanket, but you can also use pizza dough or even wonton wrappers.
  • Cut the dough into even pieces: This will help ensure that the pig in a blanket cooks evenly.
  • Don't overfill the dough: Too much filling will make the pig in a blanket difficult to roll and seal.
  • Seal the dough tightly: This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Bake the pig in a blanket until golden brown: This will ensure that the dough is cooked through and the filling is heated.

Conclusion:

Pig in a blanket is a fun and easy appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying pig in a blanket that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
