Storage

Store any leftover glazed pigs in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the dough crisp.

The rolls have a shiny, slightly crispy surface with a few sprinkled bits of what looks like sugar or salt, adding texture to the crust. The croissants are tightly wrapped around the sausages, with the reddish-brown sausages partly visible at the ends.

FAQs

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

You can assemble the pigs in a blanket and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.

What can I use if I don’t have crescent dough?

Puff pastry or biscuit dough work well as alternatives. Just adjust baking times accordingly and watch for golden brown dough.

  • 1 package (14 oz) mini smoked sausages
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the pigs in a blanket.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate it into the triangular segments as indicated on the packaging.
  3. Cut Triangles: Cut each large triangle into three smaller triangles to create appropriately sized dough pieces for wrapping the mini sausages.
  4. Wrap Sausages: Take one mini smoked sausage and wrap it tightly with one of the small dough triangles, ensuring it is fully encased. Place each wrapped sausage seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake the wrapped sausages in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Make Glaze: While the pigs in a blanket bake, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well to create a smooth glaze.
  7. Brush Glaze: Remove the baked pigs in a blanket from the oven and generously brush the honey glaze over each one, coating them evenly.
  8. Set Glaze: Return the glazed pigs in a blanket to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the glaze to set and become sticky.
  9. Serve Warm: Take them out of the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute mini smoked sausages with cocktail wieners if preferred.
  • For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the honey mixture.
  • Make sure to seal the dough edges well around the sausages to prevent unwrapping during baking.

  • The glaze can be prepared in advance and brushed just before the final bake step.
