Method

  • 1. Sieve the flour into a mixing bowl, tip in the suet and sugar then mix to a sticky but workable dough with 160-175ml cold water. Add a little more flour or water as necessary in order to achieve a rollable dough that doesn't stick to your rolling pin. Preheat the oven to 220oC Fan 200oC gas 7.
  • 2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 30 x 20 cm. Spread over the jam then wet one long edge and roll into a thick sausage towards this edge. Press firmly to seal. Lift onto a non stick baking sheet with the seam underneath. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until golden. Serve in thick slices.

    • Tips

    • This simply has to be served with lashings of custard! Definitely a way to most mens' hearts! It is also yummy with desiccated coconut sprinkled on top before placing in the oven. You can vary the jam you use, it's all a matter of taste.

    • Hi! I must confess I'm not a great custard fan I'm cream and icecream! However, my man makes the custard just to ensure he gets some! Always bring the milk to the boil before pouring onto the custard powder, sugar and a little cold milk to loosen. Then bring back to the boil. Thin down with a little more milk (or cream!) if too thick. But my lot like it thick! Altenatively, you can cheat with carton or tinned which I must admit I like! There, war and peace over :-)

    This was always a great hit in prison! My lot love it at home too - I think I first had the steamed version of this when I was little, cooked by my mum!

     

    This was a firm favourite in prison with the men and in college with my students. It's easy to prepare and belongs on the long list of comfort foods! Read More
