Layanette! Cinnamon Chocolate Raisin Pinwheels!
Ingredients
The Dough
- • 4 cups flour
- • 2 tsp baking powder
- • 3 tbsp sugar
- • 3 large eggs
- • 1/2 cup milk
- • 3 oz vegetable/canola oil
- • 9 tbsp butter room temperature
The Filling
- • 4 oz milk chocolate very finely chopped
- • 3-4 tbsp cinnamon
- • 4 oz honey
- • 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Beat sugar, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Incorporate baking powder and flour. Mix in butter and form dough - it should have a smooth look. Gather into a ball and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for an hour.
- Divide dough into 2 even parts. Working with one piece of dough at a time, on a floured surface, roll out to about 1/8” thick and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon, chocolate, raisins, and honey. Roll into a log lengthwise.
- Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and slice as you serve.
Notes
If you don’t want to use oil, you can substitute 1/2 cup melted butter.
If you don’t want to use butter, you can substitute 1/2 cup vegetable shortening.
To make the chocolate chopping easier, put in the fridge for a few minutes, then pulse in your blender or food processor until it’s crumbled to pellet-size.
