I haven’t made pigs in a blanket since I can remember. So when I had viennas I was bored of having the same usual way, I decided I’d wrap them in my favorite pastry parcels and enjoy them different for a minute.

    Make the pastry by rubbing cold butter into the flour until crumbly. Whisk cold egg thoroughly, dig a hole into the flour mixture and mix in the egg lightly
