PIGS IN A BLANKET (FROM SCRATCH)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400ºF. Grease a large baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients (flour through salt) into a mixing bowl (or dump them in one at a time, whatever).
• Rub the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese until evenly distributed.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Let the dough sit for 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the dough with flour and stir once or twice then turn out onto a well floured counter.
• With floured hands, pat the dough into a 15 by 7 inch rectangle, trimming the sides if necessary to get a true rectangle. (Handle the dough as little as possible for tenderness, yeah right).
• Using a pizza cutter, slice the rectangle into thirds horizontally then slice each third into thirds vertically, this will give you 9 small rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally into two thin triangles.
• One at a time, roll up the sausages in the triangles. Place pointy side down on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes then tranfer to a wire rack.

FRENCH TOAST PIGS IN BLANKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the sausages on the baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside; reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Trim each slice of bread into a 2-by-4-inch rectangle, then flatten slightly with your fingertips. Starting at a short end, roll each piece of bread around a sausage, pressing firmly to seal. Transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and soak 5 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it begins to brown and foam, add 6 of the bread-wrapped sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

CARROT PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Trim and peel the carrots. If any sections are significantly wider than the others, peel them so the carrot is fairly even in width. Cut into 2-inch lengths and put in a large skillet. Add the butter, maple syrup, miso, coriander, garlic powder, paprika, a pinch each of salt and pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to melt the butter and miso, then cover and reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are just tender in the center when pierced with a sharp knife and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Roll out the puff pastry into a thin 11-inch square (dust your surface with flour if the pastry is sticking). Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-wide strips (you'll need as many strips as you have carrot sticks). Wrap a strip of pastry around each carrot stick, overlapping the pastry as needed and leaving the ends of the carrot exposed. Put on an unlined baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops with heavy cream or beaten egg and lightly sprinkle with poppy seeds and salt. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with mustard and/or ketchup for dipping.

BREAKFAST/BRUNCH PIGS IN A BLANKET

• 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).
