They are very easy and super yummy. Even if they go a bit wonky while they are cooking, they will still be delicious.
These are also a low-cost treat to make on the weekends. If there are any left the next day (highly unlikely), warm them in the microwave for 15 seconds.

I think pinwheels have always been a favorite with my children and you have reminded me of how much I miss them. I will have to make some for my grandchildren to try. Thank you so much for the recipe.

ReplyDeleteI've been looking for the cinnamon pin wheel recipe that I was taught to make in my high school home economics class in New York, USA in the early 60's. At home, my mom and big sister used to ask me to bake some for them. Off I would go into the kitchen and pretty soon we were eating them hot out of the oven. Oddly enough his sounds like the exact same recipe! I guess good food is universal. Cannot wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's interesting you were making them in the US! They are definitely the classic Home Ed class dish! You can also substitute the cinnamon for 2 tablespoons of dessicated coconut and make coconut pinwheels :)
