Pigs in a Blanket

I was hungry today, and decided to make some food, and looking around, I had the following in the fridge:

Milk (About 1 pint or so)

Cake, Cake and more cake (3 cakes, probably all bad, cooked weekend before last)

1 piece of KFC crispy chicken (drumstick) 

A little cheese

Turkey

Hot Dogs

Oranges

Onion

1 Lime

Lots of butter

Nothing really dedicated for a meal, considering we had no sliced bread, or any hot dog buns. I decided I would make Pigs in a Blanket, but I would have to make it from scratch. Usually Crescent rolls are the preferred blanket for the pigs, but I didn't have Crescent rolls, and I didn't know how to make them. I had plenty of flour, plenty of baking powder, shortnening, butter, so I figured biscuits would be a good blanket for the pigs. 

I found an old Betty Crocker recipe for biscuits, and I don't have it in front of me, but here goes:

2 cups flour

1 tsp of salt

2.5 tsp of baking powder

2/3 cup of milk

2/3 cup of shortning

Turn on oven to 425 degrees. Mix all together, knead, flour a surface and knead it together. Roll it out and cut it in biscuit shapes for biscuits. I took the leftover, and instead of re-kneading and cutting more biscuits, take the leftover and wrap it around the hot dogs, don't make it too thick or else there will be a lot of dough and not enough pig. after all is prepared, stick on a pan and put in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until cooked to desired look. 

It tastes pretty good. I really wanted to go out and have something nice for dinner, but ended up having biscuits and hot dogs. It was good anyways. Maybe something nice for dinner tomorrow?
