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.

BREAKFAST/BRUNCH PIGS IN A BLANKET



Breakfast/Brunch Pigs in a Blanket image

This is a great take on the "Pigs in a Blanket" that are often served as a party appetizer. Why not surprise your family with this breakfast version? My kids never cared for breakfast sausage links when they were young until I started making these (they always just wanted cold cereal or pancakes). Now my daughter is off to college, and my son is in high-school, and they both make these for breakfast. Very few ingredients and time are needed. I hope you enjoy these little breakfast bites. (Also great when served for a Sunday brunch).

Time 28m

Yield 15 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups original Bisquick baking mix
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup fresh blueberries (optional)
15 breakfast sausage links (Brown n' Serve pre-cooked, original)
nonstick cooking spray
6 ounces pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 250*F.
  • Heat pre-cooked sausage links per box directions (I microwave them while I prepare the mini pancakes). Microwave the pure maple syrup while preparing the sausage links.
  • Thoroughly mix the Bisquick mix, milk, egg and blueberries (if using).
  • Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Use 2 heaping tablespoons of batter to make each mini pancake. Do not over crowd the pan, work in small batches. When pancake starts to dry around the edges and bubble (approx 2 minutes), flip and cook on the other side (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). (Cooking times may vary depending on the heat level and the type of skillet).
  • Place cooked pancakes on an oven safe platter and keep warm in the oven while finishing the rest of the pancakes.
  • When all pancakes are made, lay 1 cooked, warmed, breakfast sausage link across the middle of each mini pancakes, fold over (like a taco), and run a toothpick through the pancake and sausage to keep folded.
  • Serve with warmed pure maple syrup for dunking and enjoy! (You may need to heat up more syrup. I only suggested 3/4 cup, but my kids would drown them while dunking and I went through a lot more than that).

Time 35m

Yield 6 blankets, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 sausage links
2 cups pancake mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 cup pancake syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Cook sausage according to package directions.

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:

  • For crispier pancakes, cook them on medium-low heat.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Add some chopped ham, bacon, or sausage to the pancake batter for a savory twist.
  • For fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:
