Pups in a Blanket

Kids love to wrap their own hot dogs in blankets of camp dough, so don’t be surprised if the wrapping process takes longer than the eating. For “cheese pups”, first wrap the dog with a slice of American cheese.

Ingredients:

• 1 hot dog
• 1 clump of camp dough about the size of a child’s fist.

For best results, cook the hot dog slightly before you wrap it with dough. You can heat it either over the grill or in a piece of foil on the coals for two to four minutes. Let cool.

Meanwhile you pat the dough flat into a thin rectangle that is long and wide enough to cover the hot dog. Have your kids wrap up the cooled dogs.

If you are cooking on a grill, brush the wrapped dogs with oil and place them about 2 inches above the coals, rotating them until the dough is browned and cooked through.

To cook in the coals, wrap the dogs in a double thickness of aluminum foil that has been buttered on the inside. Rotate the package until the dough is cooked completely.

Note: aluminum foil works best when the shiny side is facing the food. Serves one.
