Ingredients
- Jam Roll
- 225g self raising four
- 115g unsalted butter
- 30g castor sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 2-3 tbsp cold water
- ½ jar Little Scarlet strawberry jam
- beaten egg

- granulated sugar
- Ingredients: Syrup Custard
- 1 pint full cream milk

Method
Jam Roll
- Pre heat the oven to 200° C gas 6.
- Place the butter, salt and flour into a food processor and blitz until incorporated.
- Add the egg and a little water, and pulse together until you have a soft dough, not too soft.
- Carefully roll out to approximately 30cm and 15cm.
- Lightly egg the edge.
- Spread with the Little Scarlet strawberry jam, leaving a 2cm gap around the outside.
- Roll up carefully, and not to tight, this will allow the roll to expand when it cooks.
- Lay on a large piece of buttered and liberally sugared foil.
- Roll up, again not too tight and seal the ends.
- Bake in the pre heated oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Once cooked cool slightly (this will make it easier to cut) then unwrap carefully, and slice on a slight angle.
- Serve with plenty of custard.
Syrup Custard
- Whisk the custard powder with 1 third of the milk.
- Bring the rest to the boil, then whisk in the custard powder and milk whisking back to the boil, it will then thicken nicely.
- Remove from the heat, add the vanilla and Golden Syrup, and taste.
- If happy, pour into a jug and cover with cling film.
