Giant Pigs In A Blanket Recipes

"EVERYTHING" PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together the poppy seeds, garlic, onion and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until the butter is broken down into very small pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Using a fork, stir the dry ingredients into the wet.
• Once the dough comes together, knead it gently a couple of times on a well-floured surface. Roll out the dough to a little thinner than 1/8 inch. Cut as many 1 1/2-by-3-inch rectangles as you can. (You should get at least 30 pieces.) Place a mini hot dog onto each rectangle and roll it up, making sure the short ends overlap; seal and arrange seam-side down 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Brush each dough-wrapped hot dog with the egg and top with 2 generous pinches of the topping.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve with mustard on the side, for dipping.

Steps:

• For the crepe: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the flour in parts, then slowly add the milk, sugar, melted butter and salt. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the batter to a 12-inch nonstick skillet and cook crepe on one side for 2 to 3 minutes before flipping. Repeat for the remaining batter.
• For the chutney: In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the wine, brown sugar, cinnamon, apples, star anise, cloves and salt and pepper. Allow this mixture to cook and reduce/fuse the flavors together for 20 minutes. Then add the remaining butter.
• For the sausage: Heat an oiled cast-iron pan over medium heat and brown the sausage on all sides until cooked through, about 8 minutes, then remove and reserve. Add the sage to the hot sausage grease until crisp, 10 to 15 seconds, and remove to paper towel with a slotted spoon.
• For the sandwich build: Lay out the warm crepes and place a sausage in the center, add a dollop of mascarpone on top and roll like a pig in a blanket. Place some apple compote on top and garnish with some fried sage-kill it with a knife and fork!!
