Tips & Warnings
Place the Pigs in a Blanket on a dip tray with mustard and ketchup in the middle for dipping purposes. To add a little variety into the recipe, add a small slice of cheese between the biscuit and the sausage.
Hot dogs and round sausages are a choking hazard for young children. You may want to slice your hot dogs or sausages vertically down their length before rolling them in the dough.
In baking, the pig may pop out of the blanket. This will not mess up the taste or ruin the appetizer.
