Lackie's Notes
Don't overcrowd the air fryer. The pastry needs room for the hot air to circulate and create those gorgeous flaky edges.
If you're making a big batch, cook them in batches rather than squeezing everything into the basket.
These are also perfect for making ahead. Once completely cooled, keep a few in an airtight container in the fridge and freeze the rest.
Reheat refrigerated pinwheels in the air fryer at approximately 160°C for 3 to 5 minutes until hot and crisp again.
