How I make it

Pinwheels

  1. Divide the pastry into two pieces.

  2. Spread each piece with chocolate spread and brush with 2 tbsp of the melted butter. Sprinkle with 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 cup granola and half the raisins.

  3. Roll each piece up tightly and put both logs in the freezer for 15 minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  5. Cut each log into 12 slices, ¾ inch (2 cm) thick, and set them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool.

Glaze (optional)

  1. Bring the honey and water to a boil.

  2. Brush over the pinwheels, let cool and serve.

What I've learned

  • I keep the pinwheels in an airtight container.
  • For a parve version I use parve puff pastry and brush with melted margarine instead of butter.
