"From "Joy of Cooking". They say, "Kids love these and enjoy helping to roll them as well. Packaged dough allows variations on the classic - just make sure to gently push the perforations together to seal.""

Made this for Spring PAC 2008. Having never made these before, this was a great basic recipe, easy to follow. I thought this was very good and bf thought so too, although he thinks these would be better with cheese (Lil Smokies with Cheese was his suggestion). I used Lil Smokies (regular ones that aren't all beef), Reduced Fat Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, dijon mustard, and Eggbeaters and Fresh & Easy Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk. The eggwash made this way worked out well. I laid out aluminum foil on my baking sheet and lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to make clean-up easy. In my oven, 13 minutes was the perfect time, 15 would have been just over the top. I also made Jesslem's Recipe #261224 to go with these. Very yummy. These would make a good appy or a fun kid's meal. Thanks for sharing, Jesslems!
