BUTTERSCOTCH WHEELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt two tablespoons butter in small pan over low heat. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and mix in pecans. Spread mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch-square ungreased baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut 8 tablespoons butter into flour until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and stir until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for 30 seconds. Roll into 10-inch-by-12-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
• Cream remaining butter with remaining brown sugar and the cinnamon until mixture is light and fluffy. Spread thinly over dough. Starting at a long end, roll up dough tightly, jelly-roll style, making an approximately 1 1/2-inch thick log of dough. Cut roll crosswise into 1-inch slices; place flat in a baking dish with one of the cut sides down.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove at once from dish and serve warm.

PINWHEELS 3 WAYS

Steps:

• For the base spread and tortillas: Mix together the cream cheese and pesto until well combined. Lay out the spinach, whole wheat and jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas and divide the cream cheese mixture among them. Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread the mixture all the way to the edges of each tortilla.
• For the veggie pinwheels: Evenly distribute the spinach over the top of the base spread on the spinach tortillas. Arrange the artichokes, green olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the spinach. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the meaty pinwheels: Shingle the cheese, pepperoni, salami and capicola onto the base spread on the whole wheat tortillas, slightly favoring one side. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Set aside.
• For the spicy pinwheels: Divide the pepper jack between the jalapeno-Cheddar tortillas topped with the base spread. Divide the arugula, sliced peppers and chopped cherry peppers between the tortillas. Roll up the tortillas tightly and individually wrap in plastic. Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Unwrap and slice each tortilla into 1-inch segments/pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and serve.
