Ingredients

 1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all- purpose flour, divided
 Salt1/4 Teaspoon
 Margarine1/3 Cup (16 tbs)
 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
 Water
 Dark raisins1/2 Cup (16 tbs), chopped
 Almonds2 Ounce, sliced
 Orange marmalade1/4 Cup (16 tbs)
 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

1. In medium mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt; using pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yogurt and mix thoroughly, adding water by teaspoonfuls, if necessary, to form a dough. Form dough into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. In small mixing bowl combine raisins, almonds, and marmalade; stir to combine.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Using remaining flour to prevent dough from sticking to work surface, roll dough into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread raisin mixture over rectangle. Starting from one of the wide sides, roll dough jelly-roll fashion to enclose filling and press seam to seal.
4. Using a serrated knife, cut roll crosswise into 16 equal slices. Spray nonstick baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place slices cut-side down on sheet. Bake in middle of center oven rack until golden, about 18 minutes.
5. Immediately drizzle 1/4 teaspoon honey over each pinwheel. Remove to wire rack and let cool.
