SIMPLE CINNAMON WHIRLS

Makes: 24
Calories per whirl: 95
Fat per whirl: 4g

You will need:

·         290g pack pizza-base mix (we used Sainsbury’s)

·         200ml warm milk

·         30g butter, melted

·         1 tablespoon caster sugar

·         1 tablespoon golden caster sugar, for glaze

FOR THE FILLING:

·         60g butter, softened

·         60g golden caster sugar

·         1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

·         1 medium egg, beaten

·         2×12 patty tins, lined with paper cases

1) Put the pizza-base mix into a bowl and add the warm milk, melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix together and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.

2) To make the filling:

Mix the butter, sugar, cinnamon and egg. Divide the dough into 2. Roll out 1 piece on a lightly floured surface to an oblong 30x18cm. Spread the dough with half of the cinnamon butter.

3) Roll up the dough from one ong side to make a thin sausage. Slice the roll into 12 thick slices and put each slice into a paper case. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for about 20 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

4) Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200 C. Brush the whirls with egg and bake for 15 minutes until golden. Put sugar for the glaze into a cup and add 1 tablespoon boiling water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and brush over the whirls as soon as they come out of the oven.

Tip from the kitchen: You can use white bread mix instead of pizza-base mix, if you prefer, and milk instead of the water suggested on the pack instructions.
