For the Pigs in a Blanket:
For the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup mustard (I used a combination of Dijon and yellow mustard)
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
To Make the Pigs in a Blanket:
Drain the mini hot dogs and pat them dry with paper towels.
Divide the puff pastry in half, wrap one half in plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the other half to a rectangle shape about 9 inches by 18 inches.
Trim away any uneven edges, then cut the pastry into 1 1/2-inch wide strips.
Place a mini hot dog at one end of a strip, and roll the pastry around it, allowing it to overlap slightly.
Trim off the excess pastry and seal the seam by brushing on a little water and pressing gently.
Place the unbaked pig in a blanket on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the seam side down.
Repeat with the remaining mini hot dogs and pastry.
Chill the unbaked pigs in a blanket in the freezer for 20 minutes minimum, or overnight.
Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce.
To Make the Puff Pastry:
Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Cut the cold butter into 1/4-inch slices and add to the flour mixture, tossing to coat.
Stir in the cold water until a thick, shaggy dough forms.
Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk shape, and wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill for 1 hour in the fridge, or 20 to 30 minutes in the freezer.
Unwrap the dough, dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough into a rough rectangle shape.
Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter.
Turn 90 degrees, roll, and fold again.
Repeat about 4 more times, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
To Make the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:
Stir the mayonnaise, honey, and mustard together until combined.
Transfer to a serving bowl and dust with paprika for garnish.
