These cheese pinwheels are made with baking powder biscuit dough that has the addition of whatever is leftover after feeding our wild yeast starter. Some people might say I used too much cheese... they only look like pinwheels when they are cut open.
Here is how the pinwheels looked inside - perfect spiral! They were perfectly delicious too.
Flatten the biscuit dough into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Scatter grated cheese and finely ground dried cayenne chillis overtop.
Roll the rectangle into a log. Let a dough scraper be your friend to help rolling.
Pinch the seam together.
Use a piece of unwaxed unflavoured dental floss to cut the rolls.
Space them well apart on a parchment covered tray.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 375F until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is bubbling. Ha. The hazards of not measuring... perhaps I added a tiny bit too much cheese. See how it exploded out of the pinwheels in the baking.
Because there was plenty of cheese, these biscuits didn't need any butter, although a little butter was good too.
