Baked Jam Roll Recipe

  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp cold butter, shredded on a box grater
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup jam, any flavor
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Sugar, for sprinkling
  • Warm creme anglaise or whipped cream, to serve
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Mix in the butter. Stir in the milk to make a stiff dough. Roll on a lightly floured work surface into a 10 × 7in (25 × 18cm) rectangle.
  3. Spread the dough with the jam. Starting from a long side, roll into a log. Lift and transfer the roll to the baking sheet, seam side down. Lightly brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar.
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Serve with the custard sauce.
