Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 dozen mini hot dogs

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cayenne pepper.
  2. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until well blended and the texture of meal. This can be done in a food processor as well.
  3. Stir the sour cream and cheese into the dry mixture until blended. Avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Divide the dough into two parts and shape each into a flattened disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat oven to 400 F.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  7. Roll out one portion of the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface; cut into 2 1/2-inch squares with a cutter or by hand. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  8. Lay a cocktain wiener or smokie across a square of dough diagonally and bring two corners over and seal well by pinching, forming the “blanket.”
  9. Place the wrapped hot dog on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and hot dogs.
  10. Bake the pigs in a blanket in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
