Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 150 grams Vanilla custard
- 100 grams Fruit jam (e.g., raspberry or strawberry)
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of milk)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Whisk the milk and egg yolk in a separate bowl. Gradually add this to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until it comes together.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 25x30 cm (10x12 inches) and about 1 cm thick.
Spread the vanilla custard evenly across the dough, leaving a 1 cm border on all sides.
Dollop spoonfuls of fruit jam over the custard and spread gently to create a thin layer.
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place them cut-side up on the lined baking tray.
Brush the tops of each scroll with egg wash to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the scrolls are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the scrolls to cool slightly on a wire rack. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
