I’m sure many of you have had “pigs in a blanket” at parties, they are popular because they are really good, sometimes hot dogs and canned dough is used, not my cup of tea but this sausage in puff pastry is and is a step up from the old standby. My recipe for these sausage pastry puffs could not be any easier. Most recipes use the mini sausages and you have to wrap each one with a tiny piece of dough, my recipe uses a full size sausage, much easier. The variety of sausages out there in the market are endless, so choose whatever type you want, from pork, beef and vegetarian.
