Calories: 318kcal
Ingredients
For The Pigs In A Blanket:
- 3 tortillas of choice , see note
- 4 veggie dogs or carrot dogs , gluten-free if needed (see note)
For The Batter:
- 1 cup almond flour / almond meal , see note
- 1 cup dairy free milk
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F / 190 C.
- Whisk all batter ingredients in a shallow dish.
- If your tortillas aren’t soft and pliable, warm them by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and placing them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Check and if not warm and soft, warm for 15 second increments until they are. If you don’t have a microwave, then steam them using a double boiler.
- Cut the hot dogs into 3 equal pieces. Slice the tortillas into 4 equal strips. You can trim the hot dogs and tortillas any way you want to make them fit. If you want them pretty, then cut the strips a little smaller than the hot dog pieces so they show at each end.
- Dip each tortilla strip in batter, making sure both sides are covered. Allow to soak for about 30 seconds to get them nice and soft. Don’t leave them too long or they will fall apart.
- Roll up a hot dog piece in a strip of tortilla sealing the end. It should stick since it is wet.
- Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat with each piece.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until browning on the edges. You can cook longer if you want them more crisp.
- Enjoy warm! Dip in ketchup and mustard.
Notes
- You want your tortillas to be as soft as possible for the best end result. You want them burrito size, not taco size. Also, flour or gluten-free flour works best.
- You can adjust the size of the hot dogs and tortilla strips to fit them however you want.
- Use your favorite carrot dog recipe instead of store bought veggie dogs for a vegetable based option.
- This makes 12 pigs in a blanket, serving size is 3.
