In the United States, these snacks were often used as part of a classic kid's meal, an everyday side dish, or a delicious addition to breakfast. In the UK, they are considered a traditional part of the Christmas meal. Regardless of how you intend to serve them, here's how to prepare them.

Ingredients

• At least 4 raw standard hot dog sausages. Alternatively, you can use Jewish national hot dog sausages, which work just as well as small sausages or boiled Viennese sausages.
• 1 box (for 8 pieces) of croissant dough in the shape of a half moon. Croissant means crescent in French. You can also use biscuit dough.
• 1 large baking sheet.
• Ketchup and mustard sauce (optional)

Steps

1. 1 Preheat the oven according to the directions on the dough package (or your favorite recipe if you are making biscuit dough). Most manufacturers prefer 190 degrees Celsius.
2. 2 Separate and roll each triangle of croissant dough . The dough should not be too thick or thin enough to break. Keep in mind that the dough will grow and expand in the oven as it bakes.
3. 3 Break or cut each hot dog in half. Lay each halves with the base of the triangle down and roll them up to the top (from the wide side) so that the dough turns into a blanket, wrapping the sausage completely in the middle. Viennese sausages or small sausages are rolled whole, while regular hot dog sausages need to be cut in half.
4. 4 Place the rolled sausages on a greased baking sheet. at a distance of about 2.5 cm from each other.
5. 5 Bake in oven for 11-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. .
6. 6 Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and allow your treats to cool before consuming. Ready!

Tips

• If you have problems with the dough when it starts to fall off before baking, lightly brush over the pieces with the beaten egg to keep the dough fluffy.
• Add seasoning to the dough if desired.
• If the puff pastry is sticky on the inside, place the piglets back in the oven for a couple more minutes. You shouldn't burn anything, and everything MUST be baked well.
• The American version is also made with biscuit dough (kneaded or blended like Bisquick) instead of croissant dough.

Warnings

• Let the piglets cool before eating.
• Do not eat any ingredients that are not fully cooked.
• If the sausages turn out to be raw, bake them longer, but be careful not to burn them!
