Pigs In A Blanket From Scratch Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Cut four 4-ounce bratwurst or knockwurst sausages into 6 rounds each. Stretch 1/2 pound pizza dough into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle; cut crosswise into 12 strips, then cut each strip in half. Wrap each strip around a sausage round and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; brush the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 400 degrees F until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with mustard.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in milk and water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, shortening, salt, remaining sugar and enough flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Cut a 1/4-in.-deep lengthwise slit in each hot dog. Cut cheese slices into five strips; place one strip in a slit of each hot dog., Punch dough down; divide into 10 portions. Roll each into a 5-in. x 2-1/2-in. rectangle and wrap around prepared hot dogs; pinch seam and ends to seal. , Place seam side down on greased baking sheets; let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220˚C).
• Slice the puff pastry into 6 even rectangles. Place a slice of cheddar on top of each puff pastry piece.
• Place a hot dog on the cheddar, then roll it up.
• Slice each roll into 3 even pieces, and arrange the pieces evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with a 1-inch (2-cm) gap between the pieces.
• Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
• Enjoy!

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut the bacon rashers in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each of the chipolatas.
• Place on a baking tray and cook for 30-35 mins until golden.

Steps:

• Separate the dough into eight triangles. Place a sausage on wide end of each triangle and roll up. Place, tip down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Wrap cheese around each frankfurter then the biscuit around that. Put on cookie sheet with the overlap of biscuit faced down, so you don't have to use tooth picks.
• Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
