Pigs in a Blanket

In my family it seemed like no holiday was complete without the appetizer of "lil' smokies" wrapped in crescent roll dough aka pigs in a blanket. I was looking for a fun, kid-friendly recipe for our monthly patient appreciation day at the office and stumbled upon a healthy version of this recipe on mariahealth.blogspot.com. 

Dough

1/2 cup Coconut Flour

2 Tbsp Psyllium Husk Powder

1/4 Tsp Seat Salt

1/4 cup grass fed organic butter

1 Cup boiling water

As a replacement for the unhealthy pork sausages I found these great breakfast link sausages made from organic chicken! I cut them in half and they were the perfect size.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder and salt. Start boiling water and melt butter at the same time. Add melted butter to flour mix and stir continuously. Pour in boiling water while stirring the dough. Move quickly at this stage because the hot water begins to cook the dough. Pinch off 1 Tbsp sized pieces of dough, roll out and wrap sausage links. Place on a coconut oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until dough has puffed up and is golden on the bottom. 

Serve with mustard or core plan ketchup (recipe to come)!
