Jam Roly Poly is very easy

Suet Pastry:

8 oz 225g self raising flour

pinch salt

4 oz 100g shredded suet

cold water to mix.

Heat oven to gas mark 6 (200C 400F)

Mix flour salt and suet, add sufficient cold water to make a dough which is soft and pliable (it'll be lumpy with suet bits - don't worry about it)

Knead lightly on a floured board then leave to rest for a few minutes before rolling out into a 25 x 20cm 10 x 8 in rectangle.

Spread with about 5 tbsps jam to within 2.5cm 1in of the edges to prevent jam burning.

Moisten edges with water, roll up loosly from the narrow end. Place on a tray with the joint underneath and bake for about 30-35mins.

Or wrap in foil or greaseproof paper and steam for 1.5 hours.;

Here's the Sharrow Bay recipe .....


Butterscotch Tart

150gr short pastry
250gr demerara sugar
250gr butter
1 cup water
2 tablespoons plain flour
4 tablespoons cornflour
1 tin condensed milk
2 eggs - separated into yolks and whites
150ml double cream
cinnamon and grated chocolate

Preheat the oven to 180C

Line a flan ring with the pastry and bake blind

Heat the demerara sugar - allow it to start to burn then add the butter and let these two boil together briefly

In a separate saucepan mix the condensed milk with flour and cornflour. Heat together until thickened and cooked

Pour on the sugar and butter syrup and stir to the boil
Stir in egg yolks then sieve the butterscotch mix into the precooked tart case. Allow to cool

In separate bowls whisk the egg whites and cream then fold one into the other.

Sprinkle cinnamon and grated chocolate on top

points to watch

This is fairly straightforward to make but creates a lot of washing up in the process. Use a non stick pan to cook the condensed milk and flour together and stir constantly, it will almost certainly catch bit anyway but this wont matter

You needn't let the demerara sugar burn if you like the butterscotch really sweet. T

I dont put any dried beans on pastry when baking blind so need to press down the pastry midway through baking.

Our recipe is very similar to the previous except the amounts of butter 1oz and sugar 4oz are slightly lower.
We also use ordinary milk and a half tsp of vanilla.

But I suspect the previous version while less healthy is more scrummy.
