  • Make sure the puff pastry is cold before you start working with it. This will help to prevent it from becoming too sticky and difficult to handle.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the puff pastry.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pinwheels, or they will be difficult to roll up and seal.
