What is roly poly?




Don't know what a suet sponge is. I will have to look that up.


Does anyone have a recipe for steamed jam roly poly pudding please?

Athos replies...:wink:
For the Jam...
12oz strawberries, quartered.
5oz castor sugar
juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

For the Roly poly...
10oz S.R.flour
1&1/2oz castor sugar
4oz shredded beef suet
zest of 1 lemon
4&1/2fl oz water.

Method: Heat a small frying pan, add strawberries and cook for 1 minute, add lemon zest and juice and sugar. Cook for 3-4minutes, till sugar has dissolved and sauce has thickened slightly. Blend half of this mixture to a puree. Return it to the pan and mix well, cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.

For the roly poly, put flour, sugar and suet into a mixing bowl, and combine well. Make a well in centre and add enough water to form a soft dough. Knead lightly, till smooth. Turn onto a floured surface and roll out an oblong shape 1/2 inch thick. Spread the jam over the surface leaving a 1 inch margin all round. Roll up from the long edge. Place into a loaf tin lined with foil, top with foil and seal tightly.

In a large pan, place an upturned plate, and sit the loaf tin on it. Add water to the pan, to about 2/3rds the way up the pan. Bring to the boil. (Don't allow the water to touch the top of the loaf tin.) Cover the pan and simmer for 1 hour. Do not allow the pan to boil dry. Adding boiling water to top up if needed. Pre-heat the oven to 200c. Remove loaf tin from the pan and place on a baking tray in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve with home made custard, or ice cream. Enjoy.

When I think of old time comfort food I picture:

Fried chicken with gravy
Pineapple upside down cake made in an iron skillet
Peach cobbler
Homemade chicken and noodles
Fresh greenbeans with potatoes and bacon
Potato soup
Ham and bean soup with cornbread


Oh I love ham and bean soup /cornbread
Pineapple upside down cake
Chicken and noodles
and Potato soup....mmmmm good
I make really good swiss steak and gravy and the kids like mashed potatoes and corn with it...


Swiss steak is one of my families favorite too but with mashed taters and peas...laugh

I think we talked about that dish once and we all make it different.
