I love these, but they have disappeared from the delis. Which means that I had to go an create my own. It is a combination of sausage and pastry, whats not to love, and if you have read my post on the virtues of the sausage roll, you will know that it is a combo I am most partial to.
Here, there is the added baked in mustardy goodness (which you can do in your sausy rolls if yoo wish) and the often deliciously smoked frankfurter. I know many will bemoan the contents of a frankfurter as possibly not real meat. Do I care, no I do not.
Homemade Hot Dog Lattice Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 Frankfurters
- Ready-made Puff Pastry (or homemade if preferred)
- French’s American Mustard (to taste)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Optional: Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pastry and Frankfurters:
- Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (392ยฐF).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until itโs about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut out a rectangle that is large enough to comfortably fit two frankfurters cut in half and laid side by side, with some extra pastry around the edges.
- Assemble the Base:
- Spread a generous layer of French’s American Mustard over the center of the pastry where the frankfurters will sit. French’s mustard provides a classic tangy flavor that complements the savory frankfurters perfectly.
- Place the two frankfurters side by side on top of the mustard-covered pastry.
- Create the Lattice:
- Using the remaining pastry, cut thin strips (about 1/2 inch wide) for the lattice. Youโll need enough strips to cover the frankfurters in a crisscross pattern.
- Carefully lay the strips over the frankfurters in a lattice pattern, alternating over and under to create a woven effect.
- Seal and Brush with Egg Wash:
- Press the edges of the lattice strips down onto the base pastry to seal the lattice securely.
- Trim any excess pastry around the edges to create a neat finish.
- Brush the entire lattice with the beaten egg to give it a golden and shiny finish when baked.
- Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake:
- Place the prepared hot dog lattice on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
