Pigs in blankets

This is so incredibly easy and known worldwide that I’m almost ashamed to post it! 😉

Wesley dogs, tiger tails, kilted sausages, würstchen im schlafrock, worstenbroodjes… whatever you wanna call them. They are great for a Mad Men inspired cocktail party.

I used shop-bought puff pastry and cocktail size sausages and all I did was:

cut the pastry into small rectangles,

wrap the pastry around the sausages,

brush them with a beaten egg,

and bake in preheated oven (200°C) until golden brown on a tray lined with parchment paper.

So good! I normally make these using kabana but will try using cocktail sized sausage next time~~

Thank you for following my blog! I think these sausages probably make for a softer appetizer but I’m gonna try it with kabana too 🙂

Yes! You just leave them in the fridge and when people arrive you just pop them in the oven. 🙂 So convenient!

Do not feel like these are too simple. I actually made my own pigs in a blanket last weekend and compared them to the frozen ones we already had – the “homemade” ones were much better 🙂

Oh, yes, they’re way better than the frozen ones! But isn’t that always the case? 😉

You should definitely try it with vege sausage! They may be old-fashioned but they’re always a hit 🙂

Sausage rolls! Love ’em but the skins on sausages here are really thick, so I put the sausages in hot water, then peel of the skins, then do it as you’ve set out. It’s a fiddle but worth it : )

Oh, what a bummer! Even the Viennese sausage?

  I haven’t tried those but I shall stick with what I know, as the meat is of good quality and definitely beef/pork, no hidden extras! The meat/puff pastry texture, fluffy and light, then dense and savoury, is just the best with sausage rolls. Yum.
