Pigs in a Blanket (from scratch!)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

OPTIONAL: you can use store bought crescent dough and save on prep time.

Step 3

In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, milk, butter, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add just enough flour to the dough so that it becomes smooth but no longer sticky -- don't add too much!

Step 4

Divide dough into 4 portions and roll out into a rough rectangle, about 3 inches wide by 6 inches long. Cut rectangle into roughly 7-8 skinny triangles.

Step 5

Place one smoke at the wide end of each triangle and roll up, pressing end to stick.

Step 6

Repeat until all are done. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat egg with water. In another small bowl, stir together garlic powder and parsley.

Step 8

Brush egg over tops of pigs in a blanket and immediately sprinkle with a bit of seasoning. Repeat until all are done.

Step 9

Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
