Don't throw away leftovers! This is a fabulous thing to do with any leftover puff pastry you might have kicking around your fridge. Turn it into something delicious!!
Pesto Pinwheels
Makes as many as you can
Leftover puff pastry scraps
Pesto
Preheat your oven to 180ºC. On a lightly floured surface, roll your pastry scraps as long as you can get them, until your dough is about 2mm thick. Spread pesto overtop leaving about a cm along one length. Starting along the pesto covered edge, roll into a long sausage shape, brush the pesto free end with a bit of water and use it to seal the whole lot together. Cut into discs 1cm thick and space out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-18 minutes (depending on thickness) until your pinwheels are a nice golden brown.
I like to play about with the scrolls and pinch them into different shapes, either 2 by 2 to make little pesto hearts or by 5-6 to make larger pieces. Make sure you have fun with it, it's leftovers after all!
