Pigs In A Blanket (From Scratch) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
    1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
    3/4 cup buttermilk
    18 miniature hot dogs
Preparation
    Heat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Grease a large baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients (flour through salt) into a mixing bowl (or dump them in one at a time, whatever).
    Rub the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese until evenly distributed.
    Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Let the dough sit for 3 minutes.
    Sprinkle the dough with flour and stir once or twice then turn out onto a well floured counter.
    With floured hands, pat the dough into a 15 by 7 inch rectangle, trimming the sides if necessary to get a true rectangle. (Handle the dough as little as possible for tenderness, yeah right).
    Using a pizza cutter, slice the rectangle into thirds horizontally then slice each third into thirds vertically, this will give you 9 small rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally into two thin triangles.
    One at a time, roll up the sausages in the triangles. Place pointy side down on greased cookie sheet.
    Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes then tranfer to a wire rack.
