Ingredients Needed
- Refrigerated crescent rolls – I use Pillsbury.
- Cocktail sausages (little smokies)
- Egg wash – An egg and a little water whisked together. I like using an egg wash because it acts as a binder to help the poppy seeds adhere to the crescent rolls and it also makes them a beautiful golden brown color.
- Poppy seeds – Add a slightly crunchy texture.
