Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Self-raising flour
- 125 grams Suet (vegetarian or beef)
- 25 grams Caster sugar
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 200 grams Strawberry jam (or jam of choice)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
- 1 sheet Foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (fan-assisted).
In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour, suet, and caster sugar until well combined.
Gradually add the milk while mixing to form a soft, pliable dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to a rectangle approximately 25cm x 20cm (10in x 8in).
Spread the jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm (1in) border around the edges to prevent the jam from spilling out.
Carefully roll the dough up from one short side to the other, like a Swiss roll, ensuring the seam is on the bottom.
Grease a sheet of parchment paper with butter and wrap the roly poly in it, folding the ends to seal. Then wrap the parchment package in a layer of foil to keep moisture in.
Place the wrapped roly poly on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the parchment and foil. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.
Slice and serve your jam roly poly warm, ideally with a generous pour of custard.
