Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry – thawed

  3. Cut the roll into 2.5 cm – 1 inch slices and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  4. Brush the pinwheels with egg wash, if desired. You can skip this step if you prefer.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C – 340°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.
