What's For Tea?

Hi folks :)

Welcome back to what’s for tea! And I hope you’re having a great day so far!

For pudding tonight I made an absolutely delicious, old school desert…jam roly-poly!

Very easy to make, and uses just 5 ingredients!

Everyone in this country had probably tried roly-poly at least once in their life! This Great British tradition full of retro charm (and jam!)… Perfect as a midweek treat after dinner or any time as a cheeky snack.

I’ve listed everything I used below…in case you want to give it a go for yourself.

Thanks for stopping by and until I see you next, take care x

____________________________________________________________________

I Used-

175g (6.2oz) Self raising flour
100g (3.5oz) Suet
150ml (5 fl. oz) Milk
300g (10.5oz) Strawberry or raspberry jam
50g (2 Tablespoons) Caster sugar

**Serve with vanilla ice cream, custard or pouring cream :)**

My mum would make Jam Roly Poly for pudding growing up in New Zealand. She would just bake it in the oven without wrapping it and it got a golden-brown crust like a pie. Then we would eat it with milk poured over the top. My American husband didn't know what I was talking about. When I typed in Roly Poly in Google it came up with the wood insect! LOL! Thanks for the video!

I first read about jam roly poly in "The Thorn Birds." All these decades later, I still had no idea of what kind of dessert it was until I saw this video. Thank you so much for sharing!!! ❤️🎶🤗

So so so DELICIOUS! I made this for my dad's birthday because he's always reminiscing about school dinner jam roly poly from the '60s and '70s. In my gas oven I steamed it for about 40 min. At that point I opened up the foil and greaseproof paper and saw it was still very pale and had some liquid at the bottom. I then left the wrapping open and closed the oven door again for maybe around 15 min until it was nice and brown like yours. Because my dad's diabetic, I made my own jam! Not anything like proper jam, just a punnet of strawberries chopped up small, a couple spoons of sugar and a dash of honey, some very finely chopped fresh orange peel and juice, and a spoon or two of cornflour mixed with water to thicken it. It worked a treat 👍

Still bingeing 😊 when you said “it’s a doddle” I heard Billy Connolly say exactly the same thing! I can’t remember exactly in which context, but it was definitely on a (for goodness sake) one of his cassette tapes from AGES ago! 😄 You have the most beautiful eyes.
