Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a sheet of baking parchment. Mix the flour with the sugar, suet and a good pinch of salt, then bind with the milk to make a soft, but not sticky, dough. Add a dash more milk if it helps to bind the last few bits left in the bowl.

  • step 2

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 20 x 30cm oblong. Spread with the jam and scatter with the chocolate, leaving a border all the way around.

  • step 3

    Roll up the dough from one short end so you have a sausage shape, then gently pinch the ends to seal in the jam. Carefully lift onto the prepared parchment.

  • step 4

    Fold the paper up over the ends of the roly-poly, then wrap up quite tightly. Secure with staples or bulldog clips all the way along the roll, as this will help you achieve the classic round shape.

  • step 5

    Bake for 50 mins until the roll feels firm and looks golden through the paper. Allow to stand for 5 mins before cutting, as this will stop the jam flowing out. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and serve with a jug of warmed custard.

Quite dry and disappointing. Not sure the white chocolate added anything either.

Delicious. I didn't use as much jam as the recipe said as I was paranoid about it splodging out. I stapled the paper and most of it held, apart from one corner that broke and let loads of suet sponge and jam out - small price to pay for a pudding that tasted so good. White chocolate is very subtle…

I make this atleast once a month and I'm surprised by the previous comments because we LOVE it! I haven't quite cracked the wrapping up so it doesn't explode out of the paper but it's still delicious. I would agree though that the white chocolate inside the roll is not really a necessary addition as…

Hi s graham have you tried vegetable suet? also you could use butter or lard It will change the texture a bit, but the trick is to freeze it then grate it in to your mixture, and hopefully it will retain it's shape. I did this last year with lard in mincemeat, and it wasn't too bad To stop the fat…
