Steps

You’ll need: rimmed baking sheet, parchment paper, knife, food thermometer.

  1. Heat the oven to 375Β°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Cut each biscuit into 3 strips and stretch each strip a little. Wrap one around each piece of hot dog, pinching the end underneath.
  3. Set them seam side down on the sheet and brush with egg if you like.
  4. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden. The hot dogs should be steaming hot, 165Β°F (USDA).
  5. Cool 5 minutes. At the party, set it out for no more than 2 hours, then refrigerate what’s left (USDA). For guests under 4, cut them into small pieces; hot dogs are a choking hazard for young children (CDC).
