Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 6 tablespoons jam (any flavor, such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly to ensure smooth edges.
Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one long side, roll the puff pastry into a tight log shape. Be gentle to avoid squeezing out the jam.
Using a sharp knife, trim the edges of the log, then slice it into 1/2-inch pieces to create pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash and sprinkle them lightly with granulated sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and flaky.
Remove the pinwheels from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Optional: Dust the cooled pinwheels with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
