Jam Roly-Poly - British Desserts

Ingredients

  • 67 g Softened butter (For greasing)
  • 200 g Self-raising flour (Plus extra for dusting)
  • 100 g Shredded suet
  • 1 tbsp Caster sugar
  • 36 tbsp Salt (Good pinch)
  • 150 ml Semi-skimmed milk
    Alternative: Water
  • 6 tbsp Raspberry jam
    Alternative: Strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Butter a large sheet of baking paper and set aside.

  2. Stir the flour, suet, sugar and salt in a large bowl until fully combined. Slowly stir in the milk to form a soft, spongy dough.

  3. Tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Roll the dough out to a 22cm x 32cm/8½in x 13in rectangle.

  4. Spread the jam onto the dough, leaving a 1.5cm/½in border.

  5. Roll the dough up tightly from one of the short ends. Trim the ends and place seam-side down onto the buttered baking paper.

  6. Wrap the roly-poly loosely in the paper, pleating the paper underneath to allow for expansion. Tie each end with string to secure.

  7. Place onto a baking tray and bake for 1 hour, or until golden-brown.

  8. Remove from the oven and set aside for a few minutes. Unwrap and slice thickly to serve with custard.
