Jam Roly-Poly

A nostalgic British steamed suet pudding rolled up around sweet raspberry jam and served hot with lashings of custard.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a tray of water on the bottom rack to create steam during baking.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the flour, suet, salt, and sugar, then gradually add the cold milk, mixing just until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead briefly until smooth, and roll it into a rectangle about 9x11 inches and 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Spread the raspberry jam over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around so the jam does not escape, then brush the border lightly with milk.

  5. 5

    Starting from a short edge, roll the dough up snugly into a log, pinch the ends to seal, and place it seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Brush the top with milk, bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and firm, then rest for 5 minutes and serve thick warm slices drenched in hot custard.
