Ingredients
Scale
Pigs in a Blanket
- All-purpose flour, for surface
- 1 (8-oz.) tube crescent rolls
- 1 (12-oz.) package mini cocktail wieners
- 4 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
- Coarse salt, to taste
Mayo-Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Lightly flour a clean surface, then unroll the crescent roll sheet and tear along the perforations. Cut each large triangle into 3 smaller triangles to create individual wrappers.
- Wrap the wieners: Place one mini cocktail wiener on the thick base of each small dough triangle. Carefully roll it up towards the thinner point, ensuring the dough wraps snugly around the sausage.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the wrapped pigs in a blanket on a medium-sized baking sheet. Brush each with the melted unsalted butter for a rich golden finish and sprinkle with coarse salt to add a touch of flavor.
- Bake until golden: Bake the pigs in a blanket for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed up and golden brown.
- Make the dipping sauce (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Serve alongside the pigs in a blanket for a delightful dipping experience.
Notes
- You can substitute mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages if mini wieners are unavailable.
- Brush with egg wash instead of butter for a shinier finish.
- Adjust the amount of honey in the dipping sauce based on your sweetness preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
- This recipe is great for parties and can be doubled easily.
