- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Heat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. - Prepare the Dough:
Unravel each of the 5 cinnamon rolls and cut the dough into 3 or 4 equal pieces. - Wrap the Sausages:
Wrap one piece of dough around each sausage link, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. - Bake:
Bake the pigs in a blanket for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough turns golden brown. - Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup. Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps. - Serve:
Drizzle the glaze over the pigs in a blanket and serve warm. Enjoy these delightful bites as a fun breakfast or brunch option!
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to the glaze before drizzling it over the pigs in a blanket.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. Simply bake them fresh in the morning.
- If you prefer a spicier option, use spicy breakfast sausage links for a sweet and savory kick.
