Ingredients

• 250 g self-raising flour
• 120 g suet (vegetarian or beef)
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 150 ml whole milk
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 150 g strawberry jam (or your favorite flavor)
• 15 g unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 sheet baking parchment

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, suet, caster sugar, and lemon zest.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft but not sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time.

Step 4

Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20cm (12in x 8in).

Step 5

Spread the jam evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 1cm (½in) border around the edges.

Step 6

Starting at one of the shorter edges, carefully roll the dough into a log, making sure the seam is on the bottom. Pinch the ends to seal.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking tray. Dot the surface with small pieces of butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, cover lightly with aluminum foil halfway through baking.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with custard, cream, or ice cream.
