Quick and Easy Pigs in a Blanket image

It doesn't take much to get these pigs all cozy and tucked in. Crescent roll dough does the trick. To change things up, try switching between regular hot dogs and more gourmet sausage varieties.

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 2

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it along the perforations to form individual triangles. Place a hot dog on the wide end of each triangle and roll up the dough around it like a crescent roll, pressing the point of the short end to seal the 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.

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.

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

  • 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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 153 calories, Carbohydrate 6 grams, Fat 12 grams, Fiber 0 grams, Protein 4 grams, Sugar 0 grams

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Look for well-marbled bacon and a flaky, buttery crescent dough.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create even, clean cuts. This is especially important when slicing the bacon and dough.
  • Don't overcook the bacon: Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy. Cook it until it is just crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Don't stretch the dough too much: Stretching the dough too much will make it thin and difficult to work with. Roll it out just enough to form a rectangle that is about 12 inches by 18 inches.
  • Seal the pigs in a blanket well: Make sure the bacon is completely wrapped around the hot dog and the dough is pinched together at the edges. This will prevent the hot dog from falling out and the dough from unrolling.
  • Bake the pigs in a blanket at a high temperature: This will help the dough to puff up and brown evenly. Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
  • Serve the pigs in a blanket hot: Pigs in a blanket are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Pigs in a blanket are a classic party food that is always a hit with kids and adults alike. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try experimenting with different types of bacon, hot dogs, and dough. You can also add different seasonings or fillings to the pigs in a blanket to create your own unique recipe.
