The ultimate "crowd-pleaser" party food is this little delight. How often I've heard at my events "It's not a party until they pass the franks." The puff pastry can easily be found in the grocery stores and of very good quality, but for the purists I've included a fairly simple puff pastry recipe. Be patient and take your time for a great pastry dough.
In a mixer fitted with dough hook place flour, salt and water and run machine until dough comes away from sides.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a rectangle and let rest for 5 minutes.
Place butter strip in center of dough and fold over side to cover butter. Roll back to a rectangle careful not to break dough and expose butter. Turn 90 degrees and fold dough in thirds then roll again.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, repeat the roll and fold two more times.
Chill dough again for 30 minutes before using.
Prepare for the Oven
Roll out a piece of dough and spread with your favorite mustard.
Place a good cocktail-sized hot dog on top and roll to cover. Trim dough and repeat with another hot dog.
Place on cookie sheet and bake in a 400℉ oven until dough is golden brown. Serve hot with mustard and catsup dipping sauces.
