Pigs in a Blanket
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven to 375°F. Crescent dough tubes are unrolled and separated into triangles, each cut lengthwise into three narrow triangles. Mini sausages are placed at the wide end of each dough triangle and rolled up, sealing the dough around the sausage. These are arranged seam side down on a baking sheet.
Baking for 12-14 minutes results in golden brown, flaky dough covering warm, smoky little smokies. The contrast in texture between the soft crust and the juicy sausage adds to the enjoyment. Serving immediately retains the best texture and warmth.
For serving, offering multiple dipping sauces alongside the pigs in a blanket allows guests to choose flavors to accompany the snack. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days, though the dough softens over time. The recipe also supports making the assembled rolls a day ahead and baking when ready.
Crescent roll dough is recommended for its ease of portioning and baking, though puff pastry is a viable alternative with extra cutting effort.
Ingredients
- 2 tubes crescent rolls 8 oz each
- 2 packages little smokies 14 oz packages, about 48 cocktail smokies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
- Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.
- Lay the little smokie down on the crescent roll dough at the largest end. Roll the smokie up in the dough. Pinch dough to seal and place the seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until tops of crescent rolls are browned. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Offer a variety of dipping sauces when serving to allow choice of flavor accompaniments.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; best eaten hot as dough softens over time.
- Assemble pigs in a blanket up to one day in advance; refrigerate covered until ready to bake.
- Crescent roll dough is preferred for ease of shaping; puff pastry can be used but requires cutting the triangles by hand.
