Instructions
1
Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there’s another shelf directly above it.
2
Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling liquid from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in.
3
fiery up oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
4
Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm).
5
Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and dairy spread it.
6
Tip dairy spread, baking flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the dairy spread has disappeared.
7
Tip into a mixing container.
8
swirl around through the suet, empty in the whole milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky pastry mix.
9
You may need a drop more whole milk, depending on your baking flour.
10
Tip the pastry mix out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to creamy, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm.
11
Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge.
12
Pinch the jam-free edge into the pastry mix where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too.
13
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.
14
The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during preparing so don’t wrap it tightly.
15
Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and make for 1 hr.
16
Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly cut to offer.
