Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, and white sugar.
- Add the butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) thick.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and currants.
- Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the rolled-out dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly from one long side to the other, forming a log.
- Cut the log into 1-inch (2.5cm) thick slices to create the pinwheel shapes.
- Place the pinwheel slices on a greased or lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pinwheels from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your butterscotch pinwheels!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use fresh self-raising flour for the best results in terms of rise and texture.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the pinwheels light and flaky.
- Chill the dough if it's too sticky to handle, making it easier to roll out and shape.
- For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the filling.
With these simple steps and a few helpful tips, you can easily create a batch of delicious Butterscotch Pinwheels. Whether you're enjoying them with a cup of tea or sharing them at a gathering, these sweet treats are sure to impress and delight everyone who tries them.
