Instructions
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2. Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3
smaller triangles. Don’t worry if the shape of the triangle looks more
like a box. It will still roll up nicely. Place 1 mini hot dog on the
shortest side of each triangle; roll up to opposite point. Fold in any
dough sticking out. Place, point side down on cookie sheet. Repeat steps
to make 24 total.
3. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet onto a serving plate.
4. Serve with mustard and ketchup on the side, if desired.

Food Facts
Pigs in a blanket are an extremely popular appetizer in America, for all
ages. Did you know they may be as old as the 1600’s? Despite rumors
that it is an invention as modern as 1957, field laborers in the England
of the 1600’s had what was essentially the same dish. Putting meat
inside of dough was an obvious solution for a quick and nourishing meal
on the go.
