Nearly two months ago, my co-worker Kim mentioned that she was baking pinwheels for the unveiling of the winner on Project Runway’s season five.

She invited me and two other co-workers over her apartment, but I had class that evening and was unable to attend. The next day, Kim stated that her pinwheels were delicious and that I should try them.  The recipe was very simple to make and also very delicious.

Kim was nice enough to bake pinwheels for the staff during our Thanksgiving potluck at work. After my first bite, I couldn’t wait to eat more. With all the ingredients combined, the flavors blended in quite nicely. So, I asked Kim for the recipe and decided to cook them for my mother and sister.  Disclaimer: I am not a great cook. I usually bake things that are less complicated and don’t involve a massive amount of dishes left in the sink.

Ingredients:

One stick of butter

4-6 slices of bacon

Chopped Onions

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Before I started cooking, I took a stick of butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter until it became soft. Make sure it’s not too soft because the butter has to act as a spread once it’s placed on the crescent rolls. Initially, I used a half a stick of butter, but I figured I should use the whole stick because I wanted to have a good amount of butter for my onions and bacon.

Once the onions were chopped, I mixed them with the butter. After cooking the bacon, I placed them on top of a plate covered with two sheets of paper towels. My co-worker suggested I crumble the bacon inside a paper towel to make bacon bits. But, my mother simply used her hands to do so. Afterwards, I mixed all the contents together.

I gently separated the Pillsbury crescent dough on a cookie sheet, used my utensil to spread the contents on the dough, and proceeded to fold it. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Although I missed Kim’s gathering, I was able to create a nice little setup with my mother, sister, and me. Both enjoyed these tasty bites and returned to the kitchen for a second helping. I was very proud of myself. I didn’t burn the house down and my family didn’t have to scrape burnt surfaces from the bread. Fanastic!
