Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) package refrigerated crescent rolls (regular or butter flavored)
- 1 (12 oz) package cocktail-sized smoked link sausages (Lit’l Smokies)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each large triangle into 3 smaller triangles to create more pieces for wrapping.
- Wrap the Sausages: Pat the cocktail sausages dry with a paper towel. Place one sausage at the wider edge of each small crescent dough triangle, then roll tightly until the sausage is fully wrapped in dough.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, ensuring there is at least 1 inch of space between each to allow even baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pigs in a blanket for 9-11 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the dough with melted butter before baking.
- Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- Use regular smoked sausages if cocktail size is unavailable, adjusting dough size accordingly.
