Baking

I made these cute biscuits the other day! They can be a bit fiddly but they're delicious.



Hazelnut Pinwheels
1 1/4 cups plain four
100g chopped butter
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 egg yolk
About 1 tablespoon milk
1/3 cup hazelnut spread
2 tablespoons hazelnut meal

1. Preheat oven to moderate. Grease oven trays; line with baking paper.
2. Process flour, butter and sugar until crumbly. Add egg yolk; process with enough milk until mixture forms a ball. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth; cover, refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. roll dough between sheets of baking paper to from 20com x 30cm rectangle; remove top sheet of paper. Spread dough evenly with hazelnut spread; sprinkle with hazelnut meal. Using paper as a guide, roll dough tightly from long side to enclose filling. Enclose roll in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.
4 remove plastic; cut roll into 1cm slices. Place slices on trays 2cm apart. Bake about 20 minutes. Stand pinwheels on trays 5 minutes; transfer to wire rack to cool.
