    Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

    PigsInABlanket

    I am constantly amused by National Food Days and I wonder who on earth comes up with some of them!

    Yesterday was National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day!  It is celebrated on the 24th April every year.

    Pigs in a blanket are a type of food, which is also known as pigs in blankets, devils on horsebacks, kilted sausages and wiener winks. They are different sausage-based foods but not sausage rolls.

    In the United Kingdom, pigs in blankets are small sausages, or chipolatas wrapped up in bacon. In America, pigs in a blanket often refers to hot dogs, Vienna sausages, or breakfast sausages wrapped in biscuit dough, croissant dough or a pancake and then baked.

    The original version of this food item which came from Germany consisted of rice enclosed in a cabbage leaf. As it evolved, the ingredients for Pigs In A Blanket became more meat-based. Sausages wrapped with bacon and covered with a bread wrap was one of the first versions with meat and now all types of small sausages or wieners are used for making Pigs In A Blanket.

    On the  ThermoFun Cook Along I ran in March 2015 for ThermoFun members, I gave them a challenge to make these and for them to share their photos.  There were some really great photos!  I was most impressed as trust me, I had to do these quite a few times to get a decent photo!

        oh no Bron what a shame. :( I’m guessing that either oven too hot or baked too long maybe?

      I made these for my work morning tea and they were a hit. My colleagues just snuffled them up and those who missed out were rather miffed. Great recipe.

      Being a Pom, pigs in blankets have to be chipolatas wrapped in bacon served with Turkey for Christmas Dinner. Just doesn't hseem right to put a dough around the sausage :)
