PIGS IN A BLANKET

**********************************************************

Ingredients

Butter puff pastry, thawed (450 gr)

Hot dogs Wieners ( I cut into 2.5 inches but you can cut longer)

Optional: cheese, sesame seeds

Instructions

Thaw the dough in its individual sealed cellophane wrapper or in the unopened box at room

temperature for two hours or overnight in the fridge.

Preheat oven at 400 F.

Line baking sheet with aluminum foil (dull side up). Set aside.

Mix 1 egg and 1/8 tsp salt by fork. Set aside.

Now, let’s imagine your dough is thawed and we are ready for

fun time in the kitchen.

Your first step is to remove cellophane wrap and gently unroll the dough.

Find the sharp knife and cut into 3 x 3 inches.

Place a wiener piece on 3 x 3 pastry square and roll.

Place on prepared baking sheet and brush with egg.

Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt.

Repeat until all pastry is used.

Bake at 400 F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool and eat.

Don’t forget. Be kind and share with your family and friends.

Or bring to your office and share with your co-workers. You are also sharing calories.

Enjoy and share.
