Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and powdered sugar.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the bowl. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should just come together.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Stir in the finely chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the banana and chocolate mixture evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal the edge.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange the pinwheel slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the pinwheels to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold and cut into small cubes before mixing with the flour.
- If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a bit of extra flour to manage its texture.
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more intense banana flavor.
- Chill the rolled dough in the fridge for a few minutes before slicing to make cleaner cuts.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the pinwheels from sticking.
- For an extra treat, drizzle the warm pinwheels with a bit of melted chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
