Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400*
- 2. roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface spread 1/2 a stick of butter on each pie crust Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the crust Roll up the crust, folding in the sides as you go Cut them as big as you want, I usually cut them into 1-2 inch pieces.
- 3. Place them on baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, you don't want the bottoms to burn. When they are finished, don't let them cool on the baking pan (The butter and sugar on the pan will harden and the pinwheels will stick and break apart when you try to remove them) Transfer immediately to serving plate.
- 4. Mix together the powdered sugar and milk together. And then drizzle this over the pinwheels. You also can add some cocoa powder to this mixture to make a chocolate drizzle and that is fantastic as well.
CINNAMON-SUGAR PINWHEELS
Steps:
- Brush the dough with melted butter, dust it generously with cinnamon sugar, then roll it up like a jelly roll and cut it into 1/2-inch slices. Put on a baking sheet cut side down. Bake the slices in a preheated 350°F oven until golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
Tips:
- For a flakier crust, use cold butter and ice water. Grate the butter or cut it into small pieces, and make sure the water is very cold before adding it to the flour.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix it just until it comes together, then form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll out, add a little more flour. But be careful not to add too much, or the dough will become tough.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard, or the dough will become tough.
- To make the pie crust pinwheels, brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar. Then, roll up the dough tightly and cut it into 1-inch slices.
- Bake the pie crust pinwheels at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the pie crust pinwheels warm or at room temperature.
