Fruit Roly Poly Pudding image

When I worked at Cedar Grove Lodge, Mrs. Ward (the lodge's cook) made this wonderful pudding with whatever fresh fruit was in season. I particularly remember it made with raspberries. I've had the recipe for many years but misplaced it until recently. It brings back good memories.

Steps:

  • BISCUIT DOUGH:.

JAM ROLY-POLY



Jam Roly-Poly image

The cylindrical shape of the roly-poly recalls the days when puddings were cooked in cloths instead of bowls. The pudding is a sheet of dough that has been slathered with jam or marmalade, rolled up, and then baked on a rack in a pan filled with hot water.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more softened for parchment paper
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup homemade or good-quality store-bought raspberry jam
3 tablespoons very finely chopped semisweet chocolate (optional)
Creme Anglaise (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and pulse until pieces are no larger than peas. Add milk; process until a soft dough forms. Place dough on plastic wrap, and pat into a rectangle; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Butter a 21-inch piece of parchment paper; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to slightly thicker than 1/8 inch. Cut into a 15-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread jam over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle chocolate over jam if desired. Fold short sides of dough in by 1 inch. Roll lengthwise to form a cylinder, brushing off excess flour. Pinch ends and along length of cylinder to seal.
  • Place seam side down in center of buttered side of parchment. Bring long sides of parchment together at top, and make a 1/2-inch fold. Fold over again, and seal. Tuck ends under. Repeat with foil, folding sides together and twisting ends.
  • Place wrapped cylinder on rack in pan. Add enough boiling water to come about 1 1/2 inches up sides of pan (water should not reach pudding). Transfer to oven; bake 1 hour, adding boiling water occasionally to maintain level. Loosely tent with foil; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pudding registers 180 degrees, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer pudding to a wire rack, and let cool 20 minutes. Remove foil and parchment, and slice. Serve warm, with creme anglaise if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to mix the dough, as it will be quite sticky at first.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and is no longer sticking to your hands.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
  • Be careful not to over-roll the dough, as this will make it tough. Roll it out just enough to be able to spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly.
  • When spreading the cinnamon sugar filling, use a light hand to avoid tearing the dough.
  • To make sure the roll is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the roll is done.
  • Allow the roll to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon Twirl Roly-Poly is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet cinnamon sugar filling and soft, fluffy dough is sure to be a hit with everyone. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious treat that the whole family will enjoy.
