Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package (14 ounces) cocktail sausages or mini hot dogs
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into three smaller strips to make sized wrappers for the sausages.
- Wrap Sausages: Wrap each strip of dough around a cocktail sausage, starting at one end and rolling all the way to the other end, ensuring the dough covers the sausage completely.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place all wrapped sausages seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to help keep the dough securely wrapped as it bakes.
- Season: Brush the tops lightly with melted butter to promote browning and sprinkle with garlic powder and sesame or poppy seeds if desired for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through, indicating the perfect flaky exterior.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pigs in a blanket to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Notes
- Serve pigs in a blanket with ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce for dipping.
- For extra flavor, add a thin slice of cheese before wrapping the sausages in the dough.
