Ingredients
Scale
Pigs In A Blanket
- All-purpose flour, for surface dusting
- 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 mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pigs in a blanket evenly and to a beautiful golden color.
- Prepare Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the crescent roll sheets and separate along the perforations. Cut each large triangle into 3 smaller triangles to create individual wrapping pieces.
- Wrap Wieners: Place one mini cocktail wiener at the thick end of each small crescent dough triangle. Gently roll the dough towards the thinner end to wrap the wiener securely inside the dough.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer each wrapped wiener to a medium-sized baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Brush the tops generously with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt to add flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown, indicating the pigs in a blanket are cooked through and ready to enjoy.
- Prepare Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Serve alongside pigs in a blanket for a sweet and tangy complement.
Notes
- Lightly flouring the surface prevents the dough from sticking while you work.
- You can substitute mini hot dogs or little smoked sausages for the cocktail wieners.
- Brush with butter before baking to create a shiny, golden crust.
- Coarse salt adds texture and flavor, but can be omitted for a lower sodium version.
- The honey mustard mayo dipping sauce is optional but adds a delicious contrast.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature, perfect for parties.
