Ingredients
1 package pork breakfast sausages
1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar
1 egg
½ cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook sausages in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Let cool slightly.
3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a sausage at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up tightly.
4. Arrange wrapped sausages seam-side down on baking sheet.
5. Beat the egg in a bowl and brush the tops of rolls with egg wash.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
7. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with milk to form a glaze.
8. Drizzle glaze over slightly cooled pigs in a blanket. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, try brushing the sausages with maple syrup before wrapping them in dough.
Don’t skip the egg wash—it creates that golden, bakery-style crust.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before glazing to avoid melting the icing too much.
