Frequently Asked Questions
How long and at what temperature should I bake these?
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the wrapped mini franks on a parchment-lined sheet for 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough is golden and puffed. Place each piece seam side down so they hold their shape.
Can I use a different dough or make the dough from scratch?
Yes. Refrigerated crescent dough is quick, but you can use biscuit dough, puff pastry, or homemade roll dough. Puff pastry may need a slightly different time and may brown faster, so watch closely.
Can I prepare these ahead or freeze them?
Yes. Assemble the pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding about 4 to 6 minutes to the baking time, or thaw overnight in the fridge and bake 10 to 12 minutes.
How do I get a crispier crust?
Brush the tops with the beaten egg for color and crunch. Bake on a preheated baking sheet or at 375 degrees for a slightly crisper finish, checking them a bit earlier. Avoid overloading the dough so it can puff and brown.
What dips go best with Everything pigs in a blanket?
Classic choices are Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey mustard, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Ranch, spicy mayo, or a cheese sauce also pair well.
Can I use regular hot dogs or vegetarian frankfurters?
Yes. Regular hot dogs, cocktail sausages, or plant-based franks all work. Adjust the dough strip size so each piece is wrapped snugly. These meats are usually pre-cooked, so you are just warming and baking the dough.
How many pigs in a blanket does this recipe make?
Yield depends on the number of mini franks in your package. A 14 ounce pack typically produces about 24 to 32 pieces, depending on the brand and how you cut the dough strips.
Can I add cheese or other fillings?
Yes. Add a small slice of cheddar, pepper jack, or a smear of cream cheese before wrapping. Keep fillings thin so the dough seals and bakes evenly.
