Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 12 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in the milk until a dough forms. Do not overmix; just bring it together.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into small rectangles, about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide, enough to wrap around each mini hot dog.
- Place a mini hot dog at one end of each dough rectangle and roll it up, sealing it at the seam.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages on your prepared baking sheet. If desired, beat an egg and brush it over the tops of the dough for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
