Ingredients

  • 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 frankfurters, ends trimmed and frankfurters halved crosswise

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a large baking sheet.

2

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and wheat germ.

3

Blend in shortening with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.

4

In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk or yogurt and yolk and stir into flour mixture, stirring until mixture just forms a moist dough.

5

Knead dough 4 times on a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll out into a 12-inch square.

6

Cut dough into 1½-inch-wide strips and roll a strip around middle of a frankfurter until dough just overlaps.

7

Cut Pig-in-Blanket free from strip and make 19 more Pigs-in-Blankets in same manner, arranging them, seam sides 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.)

8

Bake Pigs-in-Blankets in upper third of oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes.
