Roly Poly Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350*F (180*C).
• and line a baking tray with baking paper.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl and add the butter.
• Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Stir through the sugar.
• Add the milk and 50 ml water, and stir with with a flat bladed knife to make a soft dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gather together to form a smooth dough.
• On a large sheet of non stick baking paper, roll the dough into a rectangle about 13.
• 5 inches by 9 inches.
• Spread with the raspberry jam, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge.
• Roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll (swiss roll) and place on the prepared tray, seam side down.
• Brush with extra milk and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
• Leave to stand a few minutes, then cut into thick slices, using a serrated knife.
• Serve warm with custard.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Mix the flour and baking powder and rub in the butter/margarine.
• Using cold water, make the mix into a pastry.
• On a floured board, roll the pastry out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick (it cooks in a deep dish, so make sure the width is small enough to fit in the dish).
• Spread the syrup/jam over the pastry and roll it into a cylinder.
• Place the roll into a deep dish.
• Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and pour over the roll.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
• Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
• Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
• Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200c, 400f, Gas mark 6. Grease a baking tray.
• Roll out pastry on a floured surface to 25.5x20.5cm (10x8inch) rectangle.
• Spread with jam, syrup or marmalade to within 2.5cm (1inch) of the edges to prevent jam burning.
• Moisten edges with water. Roll up loosely from narrow end. Press edges to seal. Place roll on tray with the join underneath and bake for 30-35 min. Alternatively loosely wrap in greaseproof paper and foil and steam for 1 1/2 hours

Steps:

• Rub butter into flour and sugar until it looks like crumble
• Add up to 30ml of water until it starts to blend together and make a pastry like texture and look.
• Roll out the pastry so it is flat using flour underneath to stop it sticking !
• Add the Jam into the middle and fold over or roll over so all the jam is covered by pastry.
• Paint the pastry with a mixture of egg and milk so it will go nice and brown - bake for about 20 - 30 minutes until it goes a goldeny brown (not too brown though).
• Add Custard to serve and enjoy !
