How to Make Barber Pole Franks

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter.
Split hot dogs lengthwise, almost all the way through (leave about 1/4 inch uncut at the bottom to hold them together).
Spread melted butter evenly inside the split hot dogs.
Prepare your favorite biscuit dough recipe (or use 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough) according to package directions.
Roll out the biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface into an 8-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal strips.
Wrap one strip of dough around each hot dog, spiraling from one end to the other.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
