Name: Pigs In A Pretzel
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 24
Ingredients: 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough; 24 mini franks; 1/4 c. baking soda; Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling; 2 tbsp. butter; 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour; 1 c. milk; 2 c. shredded Cheddar; kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper

Step 1Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.

Step 2Cut biscuits into quarters until you get 24 even pieces. Flatten out and wrap the dough around the dogs.

Step 3Meanwhile, in a large, shallow skillet, add 2 inches of water. Whisk in baking soda and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and in small batches, cook pigs until dough is puffy, 30 seconds.

Step 4Transfer to baking sheet using a slotted spoon and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Repeat process until all pigs are cooked.

Step 5Bake until deeply golden and shiny, 22 to 25 minutes.

Step 6Meanwhile, make cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in milk and bring to a simmer. Once it starts to thicken, turn off heat and whisk in cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve dogs with cheese sauce.
