PLUM JAM ROLY-POLY
Ingredients
- 150g/5½oz self-raising flour
- sifted
- 75g/3oz vegetable suet
- 100ml/3½fl oz cold water
- pinch salt
- 5 tbsp plum jam (or raspberry
- damson)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
- Mix the sifted flour
- suet
- and salt together in a large bowl. Add enough water to make a soft dough
- but not sticky.
- Knead lightly on a lightly floured board for a few minutes before rolling out to a 1cm/½in thickness and a rough 20cm/8in square shape.
- Spread a thick layer of jam over one side of the dough
- leaving 1cm/½in border
- which you dampen with a little water.
- Roll up loosely
- pinching the ends together as you go to stop the jam escaping. Place the roll on a large lightly buttered piece of silicon baking parchment
- sealed edge down.
- Join the ends of the paper and make a pleated join along the top to allow for the pudding to expand
- then twist the ends like a sweet wrapper.
- Put the pudding into a large loaf tin or a brownie tin. Fill a roasting tin with boiling water and place on the base of the oven. Then put your roly poly on the top rack for 35-40 minutes.
- Serve a single thick slice
- with homemade custard.
