Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 cup | All-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon | Baking powder |
¼ teaspoon | Baking soda |
¼ teaspoon | Salt |
3 tablespoons | Toasted wheat germ |
¼ cup | Chilled vegetable shortening |
⅓ cup | Buttermilk or plain yogurt |
1 large | Egg yolk |
10 \N | Frankfurters; ends trimmed and frankfurters halved crosswise |
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and grease a large baking sheet.
In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and wheat germ. Blend in shortening with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk or yogurt and yolk and stir into flour mixture, stirring until mixture just forms a moist dough.
Knead dough 4 times on a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll out into a 12-inch square. Cut dough into 1½-inch-wide strips and roll a strip around middle of a frankfurter until dough just overlaps. Cut pig-in-blanket free from strip and make 19 more pigs-in-blankets in same manner, arranging them, seam side down, as they are made on prepared baking sheet. Pigs-in-blankets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Bake pigs-in-blankets in upper third of oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes.
Yield: 20 pigs-in-blankets
