Steps:

• Cut four 4-ounce bratwurst or knockwurst sausages into 6 rounds each. Stretch 1/2 pound pizza dough into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle; cut crosswise into 12 strips, then cut each strip in half.

BREAKFAST/BRUNCH PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250*F.
• Heat pre-cooked sausage links per box directions (I microwave them while I prepare the mini pancakes). Microwave the pure maple syrup while preparing the sausage links.
• Thoroughly mix the Bisquick mix, milk, egg and blueberries (if using).
• Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Use 2 heaping tablespoons of batter to make each mini pancake. Do not over crowd the pan, work in small batches. When pancake starts to dry around the edges and bubble (approx 2 minutes), flip and cook on the other side (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). (Cooking times may vary depending on the heat level and the type of skillet).
• Place cooked pancakes on an oven safe platter and keep warm in the oven while finishing the rest of the pancakes.
• When all pancakes are made, lay 1 cooked, warmed, breakfast sausage link across the middle of each mini pancakes, fold over (like a taco), and run a toothpick through the pancake and sausage to keep folded.
• Serve with warmed pure maple syrup for dunking and enjoy! (You may need to heat up more syrup. I only suggested 3/4 cup, but my kids would drown them while dunking and I went through a lot more than that).

HOGS IN BLANKETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Cook sausage according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, make pancake mix using 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 1/2 cups of milk. You want the pancake to be thinner than normal. They are easier to wrap around the sausage when they are thinner.
• Heat a non-stick griddle.
• Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Make 12 pancakes or however many sausage you have.
• Cook pancakes until golden brown.
• Remove to a wire rack to cool.
• Wrap a pancake around a sausage and place seam side down in a greased baking dish.
• Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes at 350° or just until heated through.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Serve with syrup.

• Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Make the pastry: Cut each stick of frozen butter into four pieces and grate using a shredding disc in a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse until the dough comes together. (This can also be done by hand, using a box grater to shred the butter, working the flour into it with your fingertips or a fork, then mixing in the sour cream.)
• Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a zipper-top sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
• Make the pigs in a blanket: Heat a 10-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, on medium. If your cocktail franks came in a plastic package, pat them dry on paper towels. Place the franks in the pan and cook, turning, frequently, until they're lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
• Remove dough from sandwich bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. Roll each square of dough on a lightly floured board into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut each into four 9-by-3-inch strips, then cut each strip crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch sections. You should have 48 rectangles that are each 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place a cocktail frank on each piece of dough, across the rectangle so the longer side can be wrapped around the frank. Roll the dough around the frank, moisten the edge with water and press closed. Place each wrapped frank seam side down on the baking sheet.
• Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze, then let come to room temperature and warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with mustard alongside for dipping.
