I’m back today with another fabulous appetizer recipe: Pigs in a Blanket!

Just in time for the Superbowl, right? Are you organizing a party this year? Or maybe you have been invited to one?

Either way, you have to make something for everyone to eat. Football parties are all about snacks!

Nothing beats a whole day spent on guacamole, buffalo wings, and the 7-layer dip. I don’t care about the game, give me all the football food!

And let’s not forget the pigs in a blanket. These are a total classic, loved by young and old. 

When all my friends get together, there’s almost always a massive supply of these. Kids go crazy for them, and adults too!

This version takes pigs in a blanket to the next level. They are served with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce and made with an easy puff pastry recipe that comes together in just a few minutes. It’s very buttery, and you can feel the difference from frozen stuff that’s mostly made with partially hydrogenated shortening.

And it bakes up incredibly flaky! Just look at all those layers!

What are pigs in a blanket?

Pigs in a blanket area are classic party food made by wrapping mini hot dogs in batter and baking until golden brown and delicious.

For the dough, you can use crescent rolls, cookies, pizza dough, soft pretzel dough, or even pie dough, but I recommend puff pastry because I think it’s the easiest option. There’s no yeast, so you don’t have to wait for anything to rise, and it bakes up incredibly light and flaky, with a buttery flavor like nothing else.

I like to serve them with a dipping sauce. Kids usually drink good old ketchup, but honey mustard is also a delicious option. I have included my honey mustard dipping sauce recipe on the card below.

HOW TO MAKE PIGS IN A BLANKET

These are simple and fun to make.

I’m going to delve into how to form them from puff pastry that’s already prepared and refrigerated, but if you need a step-by-step on how to make the dough, be sure to check out this post: Easy Puff Pastry Recipe. There is also a video tutorial embedded in the recipe card below.

Start by draining your mini hot dogs and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Then, set them aside while you roll out the dough.

I find it easiest to divide the dough into two equal parts before rolling it out. It’s more manageable this way.

Put the other half in the fridge while you work. (It’s essential to keep the puff pastry as cold as possible. It will be tough to work with if it’s too hot, and you won’t get the flaky layers you’re after.)

Aim for a rectangle about 9 inches by 18 inches, and be sure to dust your work surface and roll the pin with flour to prevent things from sticking.

Then trim off any ragged edges to get a perfect rectangle. Then cut the rectangle into long strips, about 1 1/2 inches wide. I like to use a pizza cutter for this!

Now take a mini hot dog and place it on one end of a strip. Roll the dough around the mini hot dog, overlapping it slightly, and trim off the excess.

Brush some water on the tail end of the dough to seal things in, and gently press to make it adhere.

Continue this process with all remaining hot dogs and puff pastry.

Once all the pigs in a blanket are done, place them seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

I will chill the dough again, lovely and cold. When the cold butter meets the hot air in the oven, it will create steam and puffs and separate all those beautiful flaky layers!

Bake until golden brown and puffy as possible. It will probably take 25-35 minutes, but different ovens will vary, so keep an eye on them!

HOW TO SERVE PIGS IN A BLANKET

When I make these, I like to time them, so they are still warm from the oven when my guests dig in.

Arrange them on a serving platter and place a small bowl of honey mustard on the side for dipping.

They will stay warm for about 15 to 20 minutes. But they are still delicious even after they have cooled to room temperature!

CAN YOU WRAP PIGS IN A BLANKET THE NIGHT BEFORE?

It is a great make-ahead recipe!

Prepare the dough and wrap your pigs in a blanket the night before, or even early! Once they’re frozen on the baking sheet, you can transfer them to a resealable bag, and they’ll keep in the freezer for months.

When you’re ready to serve them, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet (frozen) and bake according to recipe directions. So convenient!

HOW TO WARM PIGS IN A BLANKET

It’s OK to leave the cooked pigs in a blanket for a few hours at room temperature, but if you want to reheat them, you can.

Place them back on the baking sheet and place them in a shallow oven (my oven has a “keep warm” setting that is 170 degrees F – this is perfect!) until heated through

Why are they called pigs in a blanket?

If you asked most people they would tell you they think pigs in a blanket date back to the 1950s or 60s. However, they actually date back to the 1600s where field workers would wrap the meat in dough that they could eat for lunch.

Pigs in a blanket are also known as devils on horseback, kilted sausages, and wiener winks. They are typically small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites.

What is the difference between a pig in a blanket and a kolache?

Pigs in a blanket are the little biscuit-wrapped sausages we eat for breakfast, or maybe something served as an appetizer at a party. Kolaches, on the other hand, are fruit filled pastries, which were introduced to the U.S. by Czech immigrants.
