Categories     appetizer

Time 28m

Yield 30 to 35 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (11-ounce) package refrigerated breadsticks
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 dill or sweet pickle, cut into small strips
1 slice Cheddar, cut into small pieces
1/4 red bell pepper, cut into small strips
1 scallion, cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon bacon bits
1 (14-ounce) package beef cocktail franks
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Open the breadsticks and spread them flat on a cutting board. Cut each breadstick into thirds, crosswise, and stretch each piece until they are about 2 1/2-inches long.
  • Onto the center of each breadstick piece, put a small dab of mustard, chili sauce, cream cheese, a few pieces of pickle, Cheddar, red pepper, and scallion or bacon bits. Place a frank just next to the ingredients and roll the breadstick completely around the frank and filling. Brush the "stuffed pigs" with some egg wash and top each with a small bit of the filling that is inside. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, about 11 to 13 minutes. Serve warm.

PIGS IN BLANKETS

Time 40m

Yield 50 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups plus 5 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 heaping teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons grated Red Leicester or Cheddar
1 cup whole milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
50 pork cocktail sausages (mini hot dogs)
1 egg, mixed with a splash milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Measure 2 cups of flour into a bowl, add the salt and grated cheese and mix lightly with a fork. Pour the milk into a measuring cup to come up to 1-cup mark and then crack in the egg and add the oil. Beat to combine, then pour into the dry ingredients, forking to mix as you go. You may, at the end, feel the dough's either too dry or too damp: add either more milk or more flour and fork together again until you've got a soft dough that's not too sticky to be rolled out.
  • Break the dough into 2 pieces and roll 1 piece on a lightly floured surface. Scone dough is a dream to work with; in fact, I find it deeply pleasurable. Just roll as clumsily and heavy handedly as you like: no harm will come to it. You want a thin, but not exaggeratedly so, rectangle. A square wouldn't be the end of the world either, so don't start getting out the geometry set: this is the roughest of instructions.
  • Cut the dough into approximately 1 3/4-inch strips, and then cut each strip at approximately 2 1/2-inch intervals so that you end up with a collection of small, raggedy oblongs (I just cut each strip as I go, but it's probably more efficient to do the whole batch of dough at 1 time).
  • Take a cocktail sausage and put it at 1 end of an oblong at a slight diagonal and then roll up, pressing on the infinitely compliant dough to squeeze it shut, and then place on a nonstick baking sheet, or 1 lined with parchment. Carry on until you've finished all your strips and then get to work with the remaining dough. Three baking sheets should do it.
  • Now, dip a pastry brush into the beaten egg mixture and paint on the pastry for a golden glaze. Put in the oven and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, by which time they should be puffy and burnished. Remove from the oven and let cool a little before giving them to the children.

Tips:

  • Choose the right puff pastry. For the best results, use a high-quality puff pastry that is at least two sheets thick. This will ensure that your pigs in a blanket are crispy and flaky.
  • Cut the puff pastry into even strips. This will help ensure that your pigs in a blanket are all the same size and cook evenly.
  • Wrap the pigs in a blanket tightly. This will help keep the filling inside and prevent the pigs in a blanket from falling apart.
  • Brush the pigs in a blanket with egg wash. This will help them brown and become crispy.
  • Bake the pigs in a blanket until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the pigs in a blanket hot. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
