Pigs In A Pretzel

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425°. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
• Cut biscuits into quarters until you get 24 even pieces. Flatten out and wrap the dough around the dogs.
• Meanwhile, in a large, shallow skillet, add 2 inches of water. Whisk in baking soda and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and in small batches, cook pigs until dough is puffy, 30 seconds.
• Transfer to baking sheet using a slotted spoon and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Repeat process until all pigs are cooked.
• Bake until deeply golden and shiny, for about 22 – 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in milk and bring to a simmer. Once it starts to thicken, turn off heat and whisk in cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve dogs with cheese sauce.
