Yesterday, I spent the day with my dear friend Erin who is an amazing home cook and endlessly creative in the kitchen. She is always dreaming up delightful culinary combinations and her cups runneth over with refreshing ways to make ordinary drinks (or at least the people who drink them), sing. Well, leave it to this little lady to figure out how to dress up a hot dog.
If I were able to multi-task, I would have remembered to ask her about the exact recipe and stuff my face with the lovely Crab Salad she set in front of me, but I think you can all guess which way that went. Therefore, the following is a fumbled version of the toothsome porkers she served up.
Erin’s Pigs in a Blanket (of Delicious)
- 1 Pkg. Hebrew National Hot Dogs (the big ones)
- 1 Pkg. Frozen Bread Dough or Homemade Bread Dough
- Fixins (you got your ketchup, your mustard…whatever you like)
- Hungry Friends, preferably small children who have been swimming all day
Thaw bread dough on counter until it becomes soft enough to roll out a bit. Tear dough into the same amount of pieces as there are dogs. Roll out one piece of dough into a little circle large enough to encompass a hot dog. Wrap dough around dog. Repeat for all remaining dogs and dough. Place in a 350 degree oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the dough turns all golden-y.
She also told me she makes these ahead of time and that they freeze beautifully so don’t be shy about making a whole bunch of them.
Thank you, Erin! Wilbur never tasted so good…
