Paleo Hallo-weenies (or mummy dogs)
Have you seen the commercials or magazine adds for the refrigerated crescent roll dough wrapped around hotdogs yielding these cute, little mummified hot dogs? Well, I have too and I wanted to make them for my kids for fall.
One quick change to my autoimmune paleo tortilla recipe and I had a nice, hearty dough that would hold up to wrapping around your favorite sausages.
This recipe makes plenty of dough so you can make a big batch of Hallo-weenies, freeze some for later or do as I did and make a few tortillas with the leftover dough.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and so I’ve made a video of this recipe preparation. I hope you enjoy getting in the kitchen and cooking up this not-so-spooky treat for your little ghouls!
Hallo-weenies (or Mummy Dogs)
A festive and delicious treat!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup arrowroot
- 3/4 cup cassava flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup lard or palm shortening, very cold
- 3/4 cup water maybe a little more
- Hotdogs or Sausages
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees or your air fryer to 350 degrees. (air fryer only takes 1-2 minutes to heat)
- If baking in the oven, line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
- Add the lard and mix in until you have coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add 3/4 cup of water, mixing as you go. Mix until you see no more dry flour in your bowl.
- If you make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate, you will need to add a little more water before you can work with the dough.
- Lay hotdogs on paper towels and dry them well.
- Take a little piece of dough and begin to roll it into a thin rope. Press onto the hotdogs and wrap it around until you have mummified your hotdog.
- Bake in oven for 15 minutes for hotdogs, up to 30 minutes for raw sausages. If using the air fryer, 10 minutes for hot dogs, 15 minutes for raw sausages.
- Serve with (blood) ketchup or mustard or whatever you like best on your hotdogs.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave or air fryer (350 for 5 minutes). Reheating in the oven will overly dry the dough and won't yield the best results.
