Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry

• If using frozen puff pastry, ensure it’s fully thawed (follow package instructions).
• Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any seams or creases.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 24 thin strips (about ½ inch wide).

3. Wrap the Sausages

• Place a mini sausage at one end of a puff pastry strip.
• Roll the pastry around the sausage, overlapping slightly to seal.
• Repeat for all 24 sausages.
• (Optional) For extra flavor, brush a tiny amount of mustard on the pastry before wrapping.

4. Prepare the Egg Wash

• Crack the egg into a small bowl and add the milk.
• Whisk together until fully combined.

5. Brush and Garnish

• Arrange the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
• Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each pastry-wrapped sausage with the egg wash.
• (Optional) Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.

6. Bake

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.

7. Cool and Serve

• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Pigs in a Blanket cool for 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces (e.g., ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard).

Tips for Success:

• For extra crispiness, you can brush the pastries with melted butter instead of egg wash.
• If you prefer a sweeter version, sprinkle the pastries with a little cinnamon sugar before baking.
• These are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.

Enjoy your homemade Pigs in a Blanket! 🐷✨
