Strawberry & peanut Pastry Pinwheels (« Nun’s farts »)

While a Nun’s Fart might seem like a weird joke for a recipe, you have to believe this dessert tastes like little pieces of heaven. No pun intended.
Yet another trick to simplify your holiday meal planning : use the same pate brisee recipe as the one mentioned in my Meat pie recipe.
