On Friday May 13th in foods class my group made pigs in a blanket. On Thursday we made mustard from scratch. The mustard was gross. I would never make it again because it’s just too bad of a recipe to make it taste good. It tasted very much like vinegar and garlic. While making the pigs in a blanket everything went good pretty much. If I were to make them again I wouldn’t add the wheat germ it made the pigs in a blanket taste bad.

Pigs in Blankets - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pigs-in-Blankets-10176
Yield: Makes 20
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1/4 cup chilled vegetable shortening
1/3 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 large egg yolk
10 frankfurters, ends trimmed and frankfurters halved crosswise
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1/4 cup chilled vegetable shortening
1/3 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 large egg yolk
10 frankfurters, ends trimmed and frankfurters halved crosswise
Preheat oven to 375°F. and grease a large baking sheet.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and wheat germ. Blend in shortening with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk or yogurt and yolk and stir into flour mixture, stirring until mixture just forms a moist dough.
Knead dough 4 times on a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll out into a 12-inch square. Cut dough into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips and roll a strip around middle of a frankfurter until dough just overlaps. Cut pig-in-blanket free from strip and make 19 more pigs-in-blankets in same manner, arranging them, seam sides down, as they are made on prepared baking sheet. Pigs-in-blankets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Bake pigs-in-blankets in upper third of oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Makes 20 pigs-in-blankets.
