Franks Under Wraps

1 . Stage

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.

2 . Stage

Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Cut the pastry sheet into 20 (1/2-inch) strips.  Wrap the pastry strips around the frankfurters and press to seal.  Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.  Brush the pastries with the egg mixture.

3 . Stage

Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.  Serve the pastries with the mustard for dipping.

4 . Stage

For a Holiday Twist, use 5 frankfurters and cut each into quarters lengthwise, then cut in half crosswise, making 40 pieces in all.  Twist each pastry strip into a spiral shape.  Wrap each twisted pastry strip around 2 pieces frankfurter and press to seal.  Brush with the egg mixture and bake as directed above.
