Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 24 pieces Mini cocktail sausages
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto the floured surface. Separate the dough into 8 pre-cut triangles, and then cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles, resulting in 24 pieces.
Brush a light coat of barbecue sauce on the wider end of each triangle.
Place one mini cocktail sausage at the wider end of each triangle, then roll it up towards the pointed end to form the 'blanket.'
Arrange the rolled sausages on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top of each pig in a blanket to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each (if desired) for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce for dipping, if desired.
