Little Gluten Free Sausages wrapped in Bacon, with the addition of a little honey and mustard to make them sticky and even more delicious!
Pigs in a blanket make the best accompaniment to that Christmas turkey, you know we all fight over these tasty little sausages!
Be sure to make plenty. Enough is never enough!
If you are reading this from the USA and you are wondering why my pigs in blankets look nothing like the one you know, well, this is the British/Irish pigs in a blanket recipe.
It is a cocktail pork sausage wrapped with streaky bacon which is different from the USA version that is wrapped with a pastry. Mostly cooked cocktail hot dogs wrapped in crescent or puff pastry dough are served as pigs in a blanket in the USA.
Use Gluten Free cocktail sausages. I got mine in M&S.
Use Streaky bacon, I used smoked streaky bacon for additional flavour but you can use an unsmoked one if you prefer.
Honey and mustard: I added Honey and mustard for additional flavour. Just brush this on using a pastry brush once they come out of the oven. Always make sure your mustard is gluten free. I used French’s English Mustard, this has no gluten containing ingredients.
