 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      cup           all-purpose flour
  1      teaspoon      baking powder
    1/4  teaspoon      baking soda
    1/4  teaspoon      salt
  3      tablespoons   toasted wheat germ
    1/4  cup           chilled vegetable shortening
    1/3  cup           buttermilk or plain yogurt
  1      large         egg yolk
 10                    frankfurters -- ends trimmed and
                       -- frankfurters
                       -- halved crosswise

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and grease a large baking sheet.

In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and
wheat germ. Blend in shortening with a pastry blender or your
fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk
together buttermilk or yogurt and yolk and stir into flour mixture,
stirring until mixture just forms a moist dough.

Knead dough 4 times on a floured surface and with a floured rolling
pin roll out into a 12-inch square. Cut dough into 1 1/2-inch-wide
strips and roll a strip around middle of a frankfurter until dough
just overlaps. Cut pig-in-blanket free from strip and make 19 more
pigs-in-blankets in same manner, arranging them, seam side down, as
they are made on prepared baking sheet. Pigs-in-blankets may be
prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Bake pigs-in-blankets in upper third of oven until pale golden, about
15 minutes.

Yield: 20 pigs-in-blankets
