In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out one of the dough discs on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the raspberry jam on one half of the rectangle and the blueberry jam on the other half.
Fold the dough in half, creating a jam-filled sandwich. Roll out the dough again to about 1/4 inch thickness, sealing the edges of the dough together.
Roll the dough up tightly, jelly roll style, and slice into 1/2 inch pinwheels. Place the pinwheels on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pinwheels for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
These pinwheels are best served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Serve them up with a side of vanilla ice cream for an extra sweet treat.
These 4th of July pinwheels are not only delicious, but they also add a fun and festive touch to your holiday spread. With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can create a treat that will impress your guests and satisfy their sweet tooth.
