Recipe Schmecipe: Lazy Man’s Raspberry Pinwheels

Posted by & filed under Canadian Blogs, Canadian Deals & Coupons, Community Features, Other / Canada, Tips & Tricks.

This recipe oozes lazi­ness mostly because it is dead sim­ple to make and only uses two ingre­di­ents (seri­ously!).  It’s great for those times when you’re bogged down in work or just not feel­ing up to spend­ing more time in the kitchen than nec­es­sary. More impor­tantly, it costs lit­er­ally next to nothing!

recipe1

Pills­bury Pie Crust (pur­chased for $1 after sale and coupon).

recipe2

and Smucker’s Rasp­berry spread (almost $2 after sale and coupon).

recipe3

So, first things first, let’s unroll the crust (yeah, the menial labour, I know!)

recipe4

And spread two heap­ing table­spoons of the rasp­berry fill­ing, mak­ing sure to leave an inch gap on all sides so the fill­ing doesn’t ooze out.

recipe5

Roll it up into a log shape and cut it into half-inch slices. One crust should yield about 12 pinwheels.

recipe6

Place it onto a bak­ing sheet lined with parch­ment and feel free to top with coarse sugar for more tex­ture. I also sprin­kled some with shred­ded coconut, but choose what­ever top­ping floats your boat. Finally, place the tray into a pre­heated oven (350°F/180°C ) for 10–12 min­utes or until golden brown.

Et, voila! A dessert that looks and tastes like you spend quite a while mak­ing it.

    Looks yummy!

    What I did with the piecrusts the last time there were coupons for them was cut each into eight pieces, put some ground nuts mixed with sugar and cin­na­mon, rolled up, and baked — easy scuffles!

    OMG ! My grandma used to make this out of left­over pie dough when I was a kid … many decades (yes decades ago!) thanks for the mem­o­ries I had for­got­ten ! :)

    Hello, I am liv­ing in Que­bec, and we are mak­ing — Pet de soeur.
    You put brown sugar instead ras­berry jam.

    My Dad used to make these out of left­over dough…now I do the same lol but this is also a good idea if you’re not bak­ing any­thing else.

    I don’t like jam, or Pills­bury, so I’m not inter­ested in the recipe, I just wanted to say the pho­tographs are beau­ti­ful! Maybe a wee bit exces­sive on the blue exclu­sion fil­ter, but still nice! :)
