Lil Smokies Pigs in a Blanket

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Remove crescent rolls from packaging and gently unroll, taking care to keep the perforated sheet intact. Press over the seams gently to form a single sheet of crescent roll dough.

Step 3

Use a pizza wheel to slice the crescent sheet into four sections and then slice each section into 7 triangles. (The triangles don’t have to be perfect or sized exactly the same - approximate triangles are just fine.)

Step 4

Place one cocktail sausage aligned with the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the sausage to form a small crescent roll surrounding the sausage. Place prepared “pigs in a blanket” on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter and top with a sprinkle of flaked/coarse salt, if desired.

Step 6

Bake for 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.

Step 7

Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, and any of your favorite dipping sauces.
