Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 24 mini franks
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- 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.
