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, for sprinkling
Mayo-Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Lightly flour a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll sheet, and tear along the perforations to separate the triangles. Then cut each large triangle into three smaller triangles to create more bite-sized pieces.
- Wrap the Wieners: Place one mini cocktail wiener at the thicker base edge of each small crescent triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the wiener towards the thinner point, ensuring it is fully wrapped.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the wrapped mini wieners on a medium baking sheet. Brush each pastry with the melted unsalted butter evenly, then sprinkle coarse salt on top for extra flavor.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional): While the pigs in a blanket bake, mix mayo, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth. Serve this tangy dipping sauce alongside the baked snacks for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can chill the crescent dough before wrapping the wieners.
- Adjust the amount of coarse salt based on your preference or dietary needs.
- The dipping sauce adds a flavorful kick but is optional if you prefer a simpler snack.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
