Any Home Bakers Here?

We made pigs in a blanket with biscuit dough--home made of course! We put the dough around the middle

This is what my mom did when I was a kid. My grandkids are weird, they don't like them. They won't eat corndogs either.

I'm looking around for a recipe to make the sausage in pancake batter like a corndog. They love those.

Alton Brown has a great corn dog recipe. It is very tasty.

Use the yeast raised pancake recipe for the batter.

If I remember correctly, you roll the pancake around the sausage after cooking the pancake?

Yeast Pancakes

"These tender and golden pancakes from Dorothy Smith of El Dorado, Arkansas are a little thicker than traditional versions, so they make a substantial breakfast. Be sure to make plenty, because the leftovers can be used in the unique recipes that follow."

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 (.25 ounce) packages quick-rise yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups warm milk (120 to 130 degrees F)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add milk(add ¼ more milk if too thick), eggs and butter; beat for 2 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Pour batter by 1/2 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown.

Thanks much! I'll try it on them next week

Where I come from, pigs in a blanket is a mixture of ground meat, rice and tomato juice/soup wrapped up in cabbage leaves and cooked. A hot dog baked in dough is just a hot dog baked in dough.

That sounds very good!

Please post the recipe--Google search only shows the dough wrapped hot dogs.

Ron, Thanks for the Pancake Yeast Recipe. We purchase our hot dogs in Syracuse, NY about 50 mile drive for us. Worth the drive.
Store Wegmans...the best. We purchase the low salt Hoffmans.
Everything that Wegmans carries is EXCELLENT. We drive there
from our Cottage (which is closer) about 35 miles. They have everything...great fresh produce, bulk foods, and they serve Breakfast, Lunch. SUPER foods. A great place to visit. We go early in the AM have breakfast SHOP all day and then have lunch.
An enjoyable Day with Friends and Family. Aria

That sounds like a fun day!

I used to do something similar when we lived further north in California. I went once a week to Chico to shop. Chico was 35 miles from us and I took my two youngest daughters on the trip. We would have lunch too. There was a Fred Meyers there and they had everything! Even lumber

From the Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book of Fine Old Recipes copyright 1936

My mother wrote the Pigs in a Blanket on there long before giving me the cookbook back in the late 1960s. My mother's version follows.

Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage
Ground Meat (beef and pork mixed)
onion - diced
Rice - cooked
Salt
Pepper
1 large can tomato juice
a little bit of garlic salt (pinch)
Brown sugar

Mix together ground meat, onion and rice and season with salt, pepper and garlic salt and form into meatballs.

Drop head of cabbage into boiling water to wilt leaves. Cut leaves off and wrap around meatballs.

Place in pan. Pour tomato juice over cabbage rolls until they are covered. Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the cabbage rolls.

Bake at 350° F. until done.

Our neighbor's version

Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage
Ground Meat & onion
Rice
Egg
Salt
Pepper
½ tomato juice & ½ water

Cook cabbage leaves till tender
Cook rice then mix with raw meat
Season with salt and pepper
Add egg to meat & rice
When cabbage is tender enough to roll meat in
Use a tablespoon of meat for each leaf.
Place in pan. Pour tomato juice over cabbage
Rolls until they are covered.

Put in oven for about 6-8 hours at 200 or 250 degrees

My mom kept the books for a health food store in Chico. She lived north of thete in a tiny town called Forest Ranch. Sadly, the town burned not long after they moved away. Beautiful country up there!
