How to Make Berry Roly Poly

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 225g self-raising flour and 2 tsp baking powder. Add 100g shredded suet, the zest of 1 lemon, and 50g caster sugar. Gently mix.
  3. Gradually add 150ml cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a 24cm x 36cm rectangle.
  5. Spread 100g of your favorite jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm border. Sprinkle 150g of mixed berries (fresh or frozen) over the jam.
  6. Moisten the edges of the dough with a little water.
  7. Tightly roll up the dough from the long side into a log.
  8. Place the roly-poly seam-down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Brush the top with 2 tbsp milk and sprinkle generously with 25g demerara sugar.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 70°C (160°F).
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm with your favorite custard.
