This is my M.I.L's recipe. I'm drooling while thinking about it. I wish my wife was as good a cook as her mother.

Baked Jam Roley-Poley

The roll;

• One and a half cups of S/R flour
• Pinch of salt
• 60 grams of butter or margarine
• 1 egg
• One third of a cup of milk
• Red jam

The syrup;

• Three quarters of a cup of sugar
• 60 grams of butter or margarine
• 1 cup of very hot water

Method;

• Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter.
• Beat the egg with the milk and blend into the dry ingredients to make a medium dough.
• Turn out and knead lightly on a floured board.
• Roll to an oblong shape and spread with the jam. Then roll up as for a swiss roll.
• Place in a greased shallow casserole dish.
• Make a syrup by combining all the syrup ingredients and stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over the roll.
• Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the syrup.
• Cut into slices and serve with cream or custard.

Serves six

This cracked me up! Have you tried making the recipe yourself? Or asking your wife to try?

 

[Placid]

We've had it quite a few times.
I could make a suggestion; instead of knocking it, actually try it.
You will be pleasantly surprised.

My mum used to make that when we were kids, and have never come across anyone who new what a Roley-poley was.

My Mum used to make this. I'd almost forgotten it. Thanks for sharing.
