Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 piece Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 24 pieces Mini sausages or cocktail sausages
• 1 tablespoon Optional garnish: sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 3

Stir in the sour cream until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring it fully together. Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to approximately 1/4-inch (6mm) thickness.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into rectangles large enough to wrap around each sausage.

Step 8

Place one sausage at the edge of a rectangle and roll the dough around it until the sausage is fully covered. Pinch the seam gently to seal and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining sausages and dough.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the wrapped sausages with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top for decoration.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Allow the sausage blankets to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauce!
