How to Make Cinnamon Puff Pastry Pinwheels

1. First start by rolling the pastry out flat into a rectangle shape onto a floured surface - Your pastry should be around the same thickness as a pound coin. Then spread the melted butter and marmite evenly over the pastry.
2. Next, evenly sprinkle the caster or vanilla sugar over the pastry and finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
3. Now it’s time to roll your pastry into a Swiss roll shape.
4. Then you will need to cut your pastry roll into 1cm slices and place them onto a baking tray already lined with greaseproof paper. For extra sweetness, sprinkle your pastry rolls with a touch more of sugar.
5. Now it’s time to bake! Bake your rolls in a preheated oven at 200C (gas mark 8) for around 10 - 15 minutes until nicely browned and the pastry is cooked.
6. Leave your puff pastry pinwheels to cool on a wire rack and store in an air tight container when fully cooled down.
7. Finally, it’s time to enjoy your freshly baked puff pastry pinwheels.
