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
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.

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 high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality pork sausage and puff pastry for the best results.
- Get the right ratio of sausage to pastry: Too much sausage will make the pigs in blankets too heavy and greasy, while too much pastry will make them dry. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 pound of sausage to 1 sheet of puff pastry.
- Wrap the pigs in blankets tightly: This will help them stay together during baking and prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Don't overcook the pigs in blankets: They should be cooked until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through, but not dry. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the pigs in blankets hot: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the pastry is still crispy and the sausage is juicy.
- Experiment with different flavors: You can add a variety of spices and herbs to the sausage filling, such as garlic, onion, paprika, or thyme. You can also use different types of sausage, such as chicken sausage or vegetarian sausage.
Conclusion:
Pigs in blankets are a fun and easy appetizer or party food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious pigs in blankets that will be a hit at your next gathering.
