You will need:

• 24 rashers of streaky bacon
• 24 chipolatas

Rosemary's secrets to tasty pigs in blankets are:

1. Flatten and stretch the streaky bacon between two pieces of baking paper, using a rolling pin
2. Roll the bacon in a spiral around the chipolata
3. Put pigs in blankets in the oven at the same time as the roast potatoes

Follow directions above, and bake on a large oiled baking tray in a preheated oven (200^oC, fan 180^oC, gas 6) for 40-50 minutes.

Time it properly
