   1                    beaten egg -- for egg wash
                        ---Sour Cream Pastry---
   1      cup           presifted all-purpose flour
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/3  cup           + 1 tablespoon softened butter
     1/4  cup           sour cream

Prepare the filling by combining the cheese, onions and savory.  Mix
thoroughly.

Prepare the sour cream pastry:  Combine all ingredients and knead lightly.
Divide dough in half.  Roll each half into a 7 1/2" x 12 1/2" rectangle.
Cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares with a knife or pie fluter.

Place a teaspoon of the cheese-onion filling in the center.  Place a
cocktail hot dog diagonally in the center of each square, on top of the
cheese filling.  Wet diagonal corners with a drop of water and press
together.

Arrange blankets on a well greased baking sheet and brush them with the
beaten egg.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350  F, or until golden brown.  Serve
hot.

Do-Ahead Note:
Prepare the sausage blankets several days in advance and freeze them in a
moisture-proof container.  At party time, bake the blankets for 10 minutes
at 350 .
