Preparation:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and put a roasting tin half-filled with
water on the bottom shelf. Stir together the flour, sugar and
shortening. Add the egg yolk and enough milk to make a soft but not
sticky dough.
Roll out the mixture on a lightly floured surface to make a 9in square.
Spread the jam to within 1/2in of the edges of the pasrtry. Roll up the
pastry and wrap it first in greaseproof paper, then in foil. Place on a
baking sheet and cook in the middle of the oven (above the roasting tin
with water) for about 40 mins. Serve three thin slices of roly-poly per
portion with custard. |
