If you’ve ever met a Corgi, you already know — short legs don’t mean small ambitions and Denny da Corgi as he is affectionately called by his loving owner Sheree Chan, is no exception.
See DENNY DA CORGI in the PET PROJECT SHOWCASE
With his proud little strut, fluffy backside, and legs barely tall enough to see over the counter, he has big opinions about snacks… and even bigger plans for fame. According to Denny, greatness comes in small packages — especially when those packages are wrapped in golden, flaky crescent dough.
Enter Denny’s Stubby Sausages. These bite-sized smoked beef sausages are tucked into buttery crescent roll dough and baked until they puff up into warm, golden “legs” of pure happy dance. They’re the kind of snack that disappears faster than a Corgi chasing a tennis ball.
But the real secret — the thing that makes Denny’s whole rear gear wiggle with delight — is the dip.
Sweet and tangy, with just enough kick to keep things interesting, it turns these little stubby sausages into something truly unforgettable. In fact, the dip is so good you might find yourself looking around the kitchen for other things to dunk in it. (Denny has already suggested shrimp as a future experiment.)
I wanted for this to be an easy recipe to make quickly so I grabbed a refrigerated canister of ready-made crescent roll dough as my pastry and cut it into 1/2″ or so strips. They are already precut into triangles but you don’t want them that big. I slightly stretched each strip a bit to be fairly uniform for wrapping (see video link above)
You can easily make this snack/appetizer an entire meal paired with a salad or soup. The leftovers pictured were for my hubby’s lunch at work and he said they reheated amazingly well….with dipping sauce on the side of course!!
Short legs. Big flavor. And one very proud corgi claiming his place in kitchen history.
Welcome to Denny da Corgi’s Stubby Sausages — this recipe really does have legs!!
