Ingredients

For the Pigs in a Blanket:

For the Puff Pastry:

  • 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)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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.
