Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pinwheels.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help prevent the pinwheels from cracking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pinwheels. This will help prevent the pinwheels from tearing.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm or at room temperature. They can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Fiesta pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can customize them to your own taste.
