Pigs in Blankets

Well, except I used cocktail chicken frankfurters instead of pork.

So it's chicks in blankets, maybe?

It is a really simple recipe to follow. For the pastry, just refer to my earlier post on the puff pastry recipe. (I can't link the post!! Blogging on mobile does have its downside)

That recipe will make slightly over 50 pigs in blankets, depending of course on how thick you roll your dough.

Basically, to assemble this yummy snack, prepare egg wash ( I used 2 eggs with approximately 2 tablespoons water, beat together). Roll and cut your puff pastry dough into a small rectangle - the width should be slightly shorter than your sausage, if not same width. The length approximately slightly over twice the diameter of the sausage. (I am horrible in giving precise measurements, aren't I? Well, just make sure you can make one complete 360 degrees roll on your sausage and you're good to go).

Then, using your trusty pastry brush, brush egg wash on the surface of the dough on which you will lay your sausage on. Why? The egg wash will help the sausage remain attached to the pastry while being cooked in the oven. Else, your pigs are not snugly tucked in their blankets.

Okay. Then just roll your sausage in your pastry, brush egg wash again at the edge to stick the pastry together. Then brush the assembled rolls with eff wash to get the lovely golden hue off the skin.

Pop your pigs into a preheated oven (180 Celsius) and baked for about 12 mins, or when the pastry turned brown.
