This recipe is great! easy to follow except I didn't use as much salt as I used salted butter.

I also added some sultanas. They were a hit at afternoon tea and there were none left so they must have been good!

Method

Dough
Preheat Oven to 200C. Line a Roasting Dish or Baking Tray with cooking spray and baking paper and set aside. Sift Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Edmonds Baking Powder, salt and Chelsea White Sugar into a medium bowl. Add cold Tararua Butter - cut into smallish pieces. Using your fingers rub the Tararua Butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs and no large bits of butter are there. Add almost all the Meadow Fresh Original Milk at once, keeping a little aside in case. It should be soft and sticky, if a little dry looking add the remaining Meadow Fresh Original Milk, stir in quickly, but be careful not to overstir (some say use a knife to "cut" in the milk).

Tip the dough onto a floured board or bench. Knead and fold 8 - 10 times, sprinkling flour as required.
Then roll out to a square about 30 x 30cm (12in)

Filling
Melt Tararua Butter in a small bowl.
Add to this the Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Using a pastry brush or knife spread the butter & sugar mixture over the dough, leaving a small edge all the way around (alternatively brush the Tararua Butter and add the combined sugar & cinnamon to it dry). Roll carefully and tightly, and seal the edge with a little of the left over mixture. Using a sharp knife slice the pinwheels between 1-2 cm thick and place in the prepared dish.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and remove from the oven. While cooking prepare the glaze.

Glaze
In a medium bowl, add the sifted Chelsea Icing Sugar and vanilla. Add water a small amount at a time stirring well until you have a smooth but drizzle-able consistency. Once the scones are removed from the oven, using a dessert spoon drizzle the glaze over the pinwheels back and forward until you have evenly covered them.

Serve still slightly warm.
