* Makes 20 pigs-in-blankets.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* ¼ teaspoon baking soda
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* 3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
* ¼ cup chilled vegetable shortening
* ⅓ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
* 1 large egg yolk
* 10 frankfurters, ends trimmed and frankfurters halved crosswise
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a large baking sheet.
# In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and wheat germ.
# Blend in shortening with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
# In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk or yogurt and yolk and stir into flour mixture, stirring until mixture just forms a moist dough.
# Knead dough 4 times on a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll out into a 12-inch square.
# Cut dough into 1½-inch-wide strips and roll a strip around middle of a frankfurter until dough just overlaps.
# Cut Pig-in-Blanket free from strip and make 19 more Pigs-in-Blankets in same manner, arranging them, seam sides down, as they are made on prepared baking sheet. (Pigs-in-Blankets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)
# Bake Pigs-in-Blankets in upper third of oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes.
