How To Make Pigs In Blankets
Making pigs in blankets is a simple and straightforward process. Begin by preparing the frozen pastry dough. Thaw the pastry sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, or follow by instructions on the package, then divide it into equal-sized portions that can properly wrap the hot dogs. Next, wrap the hot dogs or sausage in the pastry, and cut them into bite-sized pigs in blankets. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For a delectable finishing touch, brush them with an egg wash and sprinkle poppy seeds on top. Finally, slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until they attain a golden, mouthwatering perfection.
Baking Tips
For the best taste, please follow my tips below:
Use good-quality sausages or hot dogs. You can select your favorite type, whether it’s pork, beef, or a vegetarian alternative. In terms of size, mini hot dogs for snack-sized or the regular-sized hot dog for a larger portion. Brushing the pastry with an egg wash before baking will give it a beautiful golden color and a slightly glossy finish. When wrapping the sausages, make sure the pastry is sealed tightly to prevent the sausages from popping out during baking.
