i don't know if this really worked
lydia is always posting pictures of her yummy, pastry school treats on her flickr. this lemony pinwheel caught my eye.
i don't think mine turned out all that well. the first major difference is lydia made her own puff pastry and i used the ready made puff pastry in my freezer. lydia made her own lemon filling, i used the blueberry and cherry jam in my fridge. lydia sprinkled hers with course sugar, i had none. my attempt wasn't never going to win out.
i enjoyed making these though, the geometry is pleasing, and by using all the ready made bits these took me about 5 minutes from start to finish.
they could have used a few more minutes on the oven as the centres, under the jam was a little doughy still. and my cherry jam was apparently too runny and didn't stay in the middle. my next try will be more successful...i'll keep you updated.

I think they look pretty good! I'm impressed! I didn't make my own filling though, it was from a bucket. We don't use jam in fillings because it's too sweet. Next time try some lemon curd and get the coarse sugar, it's just nicer.
