Cheddar Pinwheels
Course: after church coffee hour, Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Keyword: cheddar, cheese
Servings: 36 pinwheels
1 cup butter 1 ⅓ cup flour ½ cup sour cream ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded 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.
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.”
