PIGS IN A BLANKET 
1 (1/4 oz.) pkg. active dry yeast
1/3 c. plus 1 tsp. sugar, divided
2/3 c. warm milk (110~ to 115~)
1/3 c. warm water (110~ to 115~)
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. shortening, melted
1 tsp. salt
3 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
10 hot dogs
10 slices American cheese

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in milk and water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add egg, shortening, salt, remaining sugar and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide into 10 portions. Roll each into a 5 x 3-inch rectangle. Wrap slice cheese around hot dog. Then wrap dough around both. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Let rise 30 minutes.

Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
