“Pigs in a blanket” is a popular dish that typically consists of small sausages or hot dogs wrapped in a blanket of dough, usually biscuit dough or crescent roll dough, and then baked until golden and flaky. The dish is often served as an appetizer or snack at parties, gatherings, and celebrations. It can be enjoyed with various condiments such as mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce for dipping.
The term “pigs in a blanket” can also have regional variations. For example, in the UK, it often refers to small sausages wrapped in bacon rather than dough. Regardless of the variation, the name evokes the image of the sausages being cozily wrapped up, similar to how a pig might be snugly covered in a blanket.
