Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mini sausages or cocktail wieners
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons (90-120ml) cold water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup (60ml) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter (1 cup/225g) and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  3. Slowly pour in 6 tablespoons (90ml) of cold water, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it’s too dry.
  4. Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 x 9 inches (30 x 23 cm) and about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
  7. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide strips, lengthwise.
  8. Wrap each mini sausage in a strip of dough, overlapping slightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  9. Brush each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg to get a golden sheen.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  11. While baking, whisk together ¼ cup (60ml) honey, 3 tablespoons (45ml) Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons (30ml) mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice, and a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper in a small bowl to make the honey mustard dip.
  12. Remove pigs in a blanket from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with the honey mustard dip.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky dough. Store-bought puff pastry can be used as a shortcut. Chill dough if sticky. Brush egg wash twice for extra shine. Reheat in oven to keep pastry crispy. Dip keeps up to one week refrigerated. Freeze wrapped pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bag.
