Ingredients

    125g butter, softened
    2 cups flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    1 cup milk
    ½ cup jam
    ¾ cup boiling water
    ½ cup Chelsea White Sugar
    75g butter, melted
    Zest of 1 lemon
    Chelsea Icing Sugar for dusting

Method

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease an ovenproof baking dish 20 x 30cm or larger.

    Rub butter into the flour and baking powder until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add milk gradually and mix until it forms a dough. Place dough on a floured surface and roll out to 1 cm thick. Ensure it will fit the length of the dish once rolled up.

    Spread jam over dough, roll up and place into baking dish.

    Mix the water, sugar, butter and lemon zest together before pouring over the roll.
    Bake for approx. 45 minutes until golden brown.

    Dust with icing sugar and serve hot with cream, vanilla ice-cream or custard.

I have been searching for a proper roly poly recipe just like the one my late mother used to make and finally I found this one. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

Banging Roly Poly, i am chuffed with how this turned out, a proper Roly Polly for my nan.

Milk to dry ingredients ratio is too high. The dough was un-workable. Rookie mistake putting all the milk in at once. I had to correct. Scattered chopped almonds over the jam-layer and substituted lemon zest with almond essence. OK result.

Ratios are wrong . Dough is way to wet to roll .

Agree that a cup of milk was too much. I added in more flour. So happy to have found this recipe.

Never made or eaten a roly poly before, but there is no way you can roll this mixture out if you use a full cup of milk. start with half a cup and add more bit by bit to make a loose scone mixture. The finished result was fine but nothing special.

Would recommenced these quantities instead:
2/3 cup of milk
1 cup of jam (1/2 cup is nowhere near enough)

Make syrup with:
1 1/4 cup of boiling water
3/4 cup white sugar
juice and zest of one lemon

I added 1 tablespoon of sugar to the dough (took it out of the syrup qty) and added juice of half the tested lemon to the syrup. It was delicious and the texture was great. I will make this a favourite winter pudding :)
