    2. then divide the pastry into 4 sections width wise
  2. Then cut a slit into each corner diagonally, being careful not to go all the way to the centre
  3. Now lift one side of each corner and press down into the centre to create the pinwheel shape
  4. It’s easy to brush the pinwheel with a wash at this stage before adding the toppings – use an egg whisked with some milk for your wash
  5. For the topping, mix soft cheese / cream cheese with icing sugar (you can also add a few drops of vanilla essence)
  6. Place a spoonful of this mix at the centre of each pinwheel. On top of the mix, add a spoonful of strawberry jam
  7. Bake in a preheated oven until golden
  8. After cooling, dust with icing sugar
