Nanny's Roly Polys!

There really is no recipe for these treats but I never want to forget them!
My grandmother often made pot pie. Usually chicken, sometimes beef and on rare occasions I can even remember sugar pea pot pie and once made with clams.
When she had leftover pot pie dough, which I remember as being every time, and now I doubt by accident, she would make us these little pinwheels as a treat!
They were so good and to us they were so special!
Play with the level and sweetness and spice that suits you!

Nanny's Roly Polys

Leftover pot pie dough, rolled into a rectangle
Sugar
Cinnamon
Softened butter


Spread the softened butter over the rectangle of dough.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, to taste. (I usually use the ratio that we like for cinnamon toast).
Roll the dough as you would for a pumpkin roll, etc.
Slice into 1 1/2 inch pieces and place cut side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
I use Pam, and only use it sparingly since the butter from the polies will melt out onto the sheet.

Bake until light brown and bubbling. I used a 350-375 degree oven.

Enjoy!
