PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Butter the inside of 24 pig cavities in 2 silicone molds using melted butter, reserving 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to put into the pancake batter.
• In large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Whisk together the egg and buttermilk then add the sugar.
• Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just to combine.
• Add 2 tablespoons melted butter and mix until blended but with lumps remaining.
• Pour batter into a squeeze bottle.
• Squeeze batter into a pig cavity in the silicone mold filling it about 3/4's full.
• Press a Little Smokie into the pancake batter.
• Cover the little sausage with more pancake batter.
• Repeat, filling up all 24 pig cavities.
• Bake for 14-18 minutes until golden brown.
• Remove and allow the pigs to cool for a few minutes before removing from the mold.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

PIGGY PANCAKES

BREAKFAST/BRUNCH PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 250*F.
• Heat pre-cooked sausage links per box directions (I microwave them while I prepare the mini pancakes). Microwave the pure maple syrup while preparing the sausage links.
• Thoroughly mix the Bisquick mix, milk, egg and blueberries (if using).
• Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Use 2 heaping tablespoons of batter to make each mini pancake. Do not over crowd the pan, work in small batches. When pancake starts to dry around the edges and bubble (approx 2 minutes), flip and cook on the other side (approx 1 1/2 - 2 minutes). (Cooking times may vary depending on the heat level and the type of skillet).
• Place cooked pancakes on an oven safe platter and keep warm in the oven while finishing the rest of the pancakes.
• When all pancakes are made, lay 1 cooked, warmed, breakfast sausage link across the middle of each mini pancakes, fold over (like a taco), and run a toothpick through the pancake and sausage to keep folded.
• Serve with warmed pure maple syrup for dunking and enjoy! (You may need to heat up more syrup. I only suggested 3/4 cup, but my kids would drown them while dunking and I went through a lot more than that).
