I made this for our seder because my 3 and 5 year olds do not enjoy many traditional seder foods. As it turns out, the adults all loved them as well. Such a simple thing and everyone raved over how "creative" it was. Try spraying your hands with a litle cooking spray before working the dough around the hotdogs.

I halved the recipe to use with 4 hotdogs that I cut in half and had not too much left over. I don't know about the cooking differences between using matzo and flour, but I used regular flour and a bit of cornmeal and the mixture was a bit wet, actually. I had to add a fair amount extra flour and I think it still could have done with more. It was too wet to really divide into parts so what I did was just stick the hot dog in the pot and smear some batter on, then go from there sticking it on. I had to wet my hands to keep the dough from sticking. The advantage to the wet dough, however, is that it made for a lovely crispy crust. I was a little disappointed in that they did not brown, but they still tasted fine, despite being a bit pale. Be sure not to overcook- while I was waiting to see if mine would brown the hot dogs expanded and broke the buns a little. Not really a big deal, except aestheically. I will be trying these again, but I'm definitely going to try experimenting with some different things like whole wheat flour, varying amounts of cornmeal and maybe cheese (although you can't mix meat with dairy and be kosher, right?). A yummy homemade alternative to hot dogs with buns and pigs in blankets (the recipes usually call for canned crescent rolls- ick.) Thank you for posting this, Mirj! It was exactly what I was looking for to use up those hot dogs.
