Cheddar Pinwheels Courseafter church coffee hour, Appetizer CuisineAmerican Keywordcheddar, cheese Servings36 pinwheels Ingredients 1 cup butter 1 ⅓ cup flour ½ cup sour cream ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded Instructions Cut butter into flour thoroughly. Blend in the sour cream and chill the dough. When chilled, roll dough into a rectangle, sprinkle with cheese and roll up, starting from the long side. Slice into ¼" slices and bake in 350° oven 20-25 minutes. Notes Optional: add shredded bacon Note- shred the cheese yourself, don't buy bagged shredded cheese. From A Taste of Home: "Pre-grated cheese contains preservatives like potato starch and natamycin, meant to keep the shreds from clumping together in the bag. That also means they don’t melt together as well when cooking."
