NIGELLA'S JAM ROLY-POLY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
• Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt and add the light brown sugar. Add the suet and just enough water to create a soft, but not sticky, dough.
• Place the dough onto a floured work surface and roll out into a rectangle about 20cm/8in x 30cm/12in.
• Brush one side of the pastry with the warmed raspberry jam, leaving a 1cm/½in border all around the edge. Fold the jamless border in and brush with milk.
• With the short side of the pastry sheet towards you, roll up the pastry loosely and seal the ends well.
• Place the pastry roll onto a greased baking sheet with the sealed edge underneath.
• Brush the pastry roll all over with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
• Place into the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle on a little more demerara sugar.
• To serve, place generous slices of the roly-poly into bowls and serve hot with custard.

JAM ROLY-POLY

Steps:

• Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
• Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
• Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
• Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.
