Utensils Needed:
Swiss Roll Tin 11”x 7”
Cooking Method:
Oven
Ingredients:
12oz/340g self-raising flour
4oz/110g sugar
2oz/50g margarine
2 eggs
pinch of salt
4 dessertspoons milk
raspberry jam
2 dessertspoons water
1 teaspoon caster sugar for dusting
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 230°C / 450°F / Gas Mark 8.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar and mix well.
- Beat the eggs with the milk until light and lemon-coloured. Stir this into the flour mixture, mixing with a knife to get a smooth dough. (If dough seems slightly dry add cold water carefully a little at a time).
- Roll dough on a lightly floured board into a thick roll, and divide in 12 equal portions.
- Flour hands lightly and roll each portion into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Make a hole in the top of each bun and push in a little jam. Wet the edges of each hole and pinch together.
- Brush with milk or egg and dust each bun over with caster sugar.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
