2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk
4 slices American cheese
8 hot dogs

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a fork until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. Add milk and blend lightly only until flour is moistened and dough pulls away from sides of bowl.

Turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead lightly (30 seconds) and roll about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 even pieces (rectangular). Cut American cheese slices in half. Place one piece of cheese on each piece of dough. Put a hot dog on top of the cheese. Roll the dough around the hot dog. Pinch the dough together so hot dog is completely covered. Place on lightly greased baking pan with seam side down. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
