Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter dough, you can substitute half the biscuit mix with whole wheat flour. If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough. Ensure the dough is not too sticky; if it is, add a little more biscuit mix. This recipe works great with turkey hot dogs for a healthier option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of sausages instead of hot dogs?
Absolutely! You can use any type of sausage, such as bratwurst or kielbasa, depending on your preference. Just ensure they are fully cooked before wrapping them in the dough, as the baking time may vary slightly depending on the size and type of sausage used.
Can I freeze Dogs In Blankets?
Yes, you can freeze them! After baking, let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I use instead of milk in the dough?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any non-dairy milk of your choice. For a richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth. Just be sure to adjust the amount based on the consistency of your dough.
