Tips:
- For a flakier crust, use cold butter and grate it into the flour mixture.
- To make the dough easier to work with, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- To prevent the pinwheels from unrolling, brush the edges with egg wash before baking.
