How to Make Baked Jam Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or Gas Mark 6.
  2. Grease a large ovenproof baking dish with butter or oil.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 200g self-raising flour and 100g shredded suet. Gradually add 5-6 tablespoons of cold water, mixing until a firm, smooth dough forms.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a 6mm (1/4-inch) thickness. Aim for a rectangle approximately 20-25cm (8-10 inches) long.
  5. Spread a generous layer of your favorite jam (approximately 100g) over the pastry, leaving a 1.25-2.5cm (1/2-1 inch) border on all sides.
  6. Lightly moisten the edges of the pastry with water.
  7. Carefully roll up the pastry from the long side, starting at one end, creating a tight cylinder.
  8. Pinch the seam tightly to seal, and crimp the ends to prevent any jam leakage during baking.
  9. Place the jam roll into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until it is beautifully golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm or cold, sliced into generous portions. Enjoy with a dollop of custard for the ultimate indulgence!
  12. Alternative method: For Jam Roly Poly, wrap the rolled dough in a floured pudding cloth and steam for 2.5-3 hours.
