Anyone have a low-carb version of Pigs In A Blanket? I just LOVE them and I know that the little hot dogs are on plan, but what can you substitute for the biscuits?

I'm bumping this myself because SOMEONE must have a recipe for a low-carb version of these!

mmmm...I dunno but that sounds delicious. I really want that recipe too!

Got this from the LCfriends website. I also saw one with Carbo bread mix in the recipe but I don't know where to get that stuff

me too ,please

I guess just use carbquik to make biscuits too

Every recipe I've ever seen for pigs in a blanket has been for puff pastry, and I've never heard of a low-carb version of pastry. Lard + flour has unique properties.

Now if you wanted to try it with biscuit dough, you could make a passable LC biscuit dough. See the Bread/Baked Goods forum. There are LC biscuits based on almond flour, dry grated parmesan cheese, etc.

If you go to sugar free Sheila's web site, she has a recipe page and it includes a pancake recipe that she says makes good pigs in a blanket. I haven't tried it myself, but go ahead and check it out.

I'm a bit confused. In the UK, pigs in blankets are little sausages wrapped in bacon -they're delicious and low carb.

We also have sausage rolls which is sausage meat wrapped in pastry - not low carb, but also delicious.

mmmm sausage wrapped in bacon! Why didn't I think of that!

Here stateside, they are little hot dogs or sausages wrapped in a pastry. When my mom would make them, she would use the canned Crescent Rolls and cut that up.

I don't have any good ideas for something that would be really close.
