  • 75g/3oz vegetable suet
  • 100ml/3½fl oz cold water
  • pinch salt

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.
