Answer 1

Nana's Italian Pig in a blanket.
Up until she was 90 my mom used to make these.
Italian sausage links split lengthwise
Sunday Sauce(Tomato Sauce)
Homemade dough.

Mom would cook the sauce in a cast iron skillet until browned and cooked through. Then she would add just a little Tomato Sauce. Not too much.
Just enough to coat the links.
Roll out her dough and place link in the middle.. She would then take the ends and turn them towards the center. Place on a greased cookie sheet and drizzle the tops with a little olive oil or sometimes brush with a little milk.
Bake them at 350 until they were golden.
You could always count on smelling them when you walked into her kitchen on Easter. She passed away last year but her tradition continues on!

Answer 2

The classic "pig in a blanket" is a small sausage wrapped in a pancake in the US. About 3/4 size of a UK sausage. Or you buy a can of Pillsbury Croissant Dough, wrap some around a cooked sausage or hot dog, and bake until brown. A piece of american cheese on the dough before you place on the dog or sausage before you wrap it up is yummy.

Answer 3

Pigs in a blanket (also known as pigs in blankets) is the name of a few different foods in the United States and United Kingdom. The name is sometimes unnecessarily hyphenated, particularly in its rare singular form.

In British cuisine, pigs in blankets are chipolata sausages wrapped in bacon (streaky bacon is most common). These are cooked in the oven along with roast chicken or turkey; served as an accompaniment to these dishes, often as part of a Sunday roast or Christmas dinner. The Pig in a Pig which is a baked hors d'ouvre made by wrapping vienna sausages or hot dog pieces in bacon exists similarly in informal US cuisine.

In the United States, the term refers to small hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit dough and baked. They are served as an hors d'oeuvres or as a children's food. They are a somewhat blander version of a sausage roll or (by more extreme extension) a baked corn dog. The name can also refer to a breakfast dish of sausage wrapped in a pancake (or sometimes just bread).

The name can also refer to a kolache filled with sausage or ham slices.

The name also refers to a Slavic dish (gołąbki) of ground meat and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves and braised usually in a tomato sauce.

In the movie Shrek 2, the Three Little Pigs yell "Pigs in blanket(s)!" just before two of them toss up the third using a blanket and standing on either side of him. This stunt was an attempt to get the Fairy Godmother's wand.

Answer 4

It's any form of sausage (normally pork) wrapped in bacon streaks. You normally only wrap enough bacon to go round the sausage about 1 or 2 times, and you normally cut sausages to about 3 to 4cm long... but it's down to personal taste really.

You can oven bake or grill them (probably fry them, but I suspect the 'bacon blankets' will come off), if you are a meat eater, I'm sure you would enjoy it. Lots of fat though so not too healthy.

Also depends on the quality of sausages and bacon you use... you can get a totally different taste from cheap bargain meat to the more expensive organic type.

Answer 5

i havent had one of those in over 20 years, the first answers are correct about it being a hot dog wrapped in croissant dough and then baked. my mom made them with regular hotdogs but i have also had them with the little cocktail weiners also, there really good both ways. i am wondering now why they dont call them a dog in a blanket? which is where my dog is now. or a weiner in a blanket? which is where mine will be as soon as i get tired. or better yet a weiner dog in a blanket? which is where my dads dog is now. spoiled dogs
