Time 33m

Yield 18 pigs in a blanket

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk
18 miniature hot dogs

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400ºF. Grease a large baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients (flour through salt) into a mixing bowl (or dump them in one at a time, whatever).
Rub the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Let the dough sit for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the dough with flour and stir once or twice then turn out onto a well floured counter.
With floured hands, pat the dough into a 15 by 7 inch rectangle, trimming the sides if necessary to get a true rectangle. (Handle the dough as little as possible for tenderness, yeah right).
Using a pizza cutter, slice the rectangle into thirds horizontally then slice each third into thirds vertically, this will give you 9 small rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally into two thin triangles.
One at a time, roll up the sausages in the triangles. Place pointy side down on greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes then tranfer to a wire rack.

PIGS IN A BLANKET (BLANKIES FROM SCRATCH)

Pigs in a Blanket (Blankies from Scratch) image

I have been using this recipe for blanketed piggies since I first came across it almost 15 years ago from either my sister or my grade 9 home economics class. I'm so glad I have it since it's so hard to find a blanket recipe from scratch! I can cover a typical Canadian package of 12 hot dogs with this recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 9-12 Pigs In A Blanket, 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups flour (white or whole wheat)
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
3/4 cup milk (any type should work)
12 hot dogs or 12 sausage, to be wrapped

Steps:

Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Mix in the butter/margarine and milk.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to desired thickness and as wide as the hot dogs to be wrapped are.
Wrap the individual hot dogs or sausages in their own blanket.
Bake at 425°F for about 10 minutes or until slightly brown.
*If you get to the end of the dough, yet still have more hot dogs left without blankets, it's easy just to roll the wrapped hot dogs between your hand and your work surface to make their blanket thinner, that way you can cut off the excess dough off from either side of the hot dog and combine the ends and roll out another strip of blanket. Maybe you'd like to consider adding a bit of cheese inside the blanket for added flavor.

Tips:

For the best results, use cold butter when making the dough. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
To make the pigs in a blanket ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
For a fun twist, try using different types of sausage or hot dogs. You could also add cheese, bacon, or other toppings to the pigs in a blanket.

Conclusion:

Pigs in a blanket are a classic party food that is always a hit. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best pigs in a blanket ever. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
