Ageing is just another word for living <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I was looking for a quote for this post but quotes about Pizza Rolls are not that inspiring. So I decided to use this quote about ageing. I try all the time to embrace my age. And it’s fantastic to be reminded of the important things in life by quotes like this. I turned 50 this year. Way back in 1986 I was 14 when I first tried this recipe. That means even my recipes are ageing! I will refer you to my Cheese Muffins<\/a> and Retro Custard<\/a> recipes here. But I prefer to think my recipes have also lived<\/em>. This recipe has been used for all sorts of occasions, has changed its name at least three times and is still tasty and valid. Hopefully, I have “lived” as well as this Pizza Roll recipe!<\/p>\n

From Chelsea Buns to Pizza Rolls<\/h4>\n

In Grade 9 I had to bake these delicious bites in my Home Economics class. My memory is hazy, but I do remember my teacher calling them Chelsea Buns<\/a>. Even then I knew Chelsea buns were sweet currant buns, so this name always baffled me. I made them all the time at home though. It was my family’s go-to Saturday lunch. Then as an adult, I used to make them for my children’s birthday parties and as lunchbox treats. We called them Savoury Pinwheels and I felt that was a better name for them. But the Savoury Pinwheels went out of favour as the children grew up, so I stopped making them. Until recently when I tried the recipe again. I called my daughter for a taste test and she took one look at them and said “Nice, you made pizza rolls”!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An American favourite<\/h4>\n

I did a quick Pinterest search and yes, there are many recipes for what looks just like my Savoury Pinwheels and are definitely called Pizza Rolls. Who am I to object? I am pretty sure nobody is going to search for Savoury Pinwheels on Google. There is one difference between my Pizza Rolls and the basic American recipes though. In the US they make them from pizza dough which uses yeast. My recipe just uses baking powder as a leavening agent, so it is quick to make and doesn’t involve waiting for the dough to rise. These rolls are luckily similar to the American ones in all other ways. You get that delicious pizza taste which you can basically eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. So the final question is whether I am old because I didn’t know these were called Pizza Rolls? Maybe I am, but at least I can say I have lived<\/em>!<\/p>\n
