NOTES
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for the cinnamon mixture. Cold butter is harder to blend with the other ingredients. After spreading the cinnamon butter on the pastry, roll it up tightly and slice the pinwheels with a sharp knife. To make your puff pastry puffy and crispy, refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes before baking. The longer puff pastry is stored in the refrigerator, the better it gets. Prepare your puff pastry pinwheels and store them raw in the freezer. When you need a batch of freshly baked rolls, thaw them in the refrigerator before baking. Throw some raisins on the coated sheet before rolling it up for a more fruity taste. Store your baked pinwheels in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
