This is how my mother (who hates cooking) always made roly poly, which is usually made with a suet pastry. I still remember it fondly - we had it with custard after Sunday lunch. Ingredients:
8 ounces all-purpose flour |
4 ounces butter or 4 ounces margarine, cold |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 -4 tablespoons golden syrup or 2 -4 tablespoons jam |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup warm water |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Mix the flour and baking powder and rub in the butter/margarine.
3. Using cold water, make the mix into a pastry.
4. On a floured board, roll the pastry out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick (it cooks in a deep dish, so make sure the width is small enough to fit in the dish).
5. Spread the syrup/jam over the pastry and roll it into a cylinder.
6. Place the roll into a deep dish.
7. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and pour over the roll.
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.
