JAM ROLY-POLY
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.

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.
ROLLY POLLIES
Since I was little we've made these in my family. My mom tells me she used to do this with her mother. Traditionally it is a Christmas treat but more and more we have them at any family function where there's baking. The measurements are rough because it really is from leftover pastry from pies.

Steps:
- Roll left over pastry dough from pies out as thin as possible.
- Spread a thin layer of room temperature butter over entire dough to edges.
- Spread a thin layer of brown sugar over entire dough to edges.
- Starting from one edge, roll dough into a long tube but not too tight.
- Slice bite sized pieces and place in a pie plate with a centimetre or so spacing between.
- Bake at 325 for 15 - 20 minutes, watching them closely. If they start to brown, they should come out.

Steps:
- Put a deep roasting tin onto the bottom shelf of the oven, and make sure that there's another shelf directly above it. Pull the roasting tin out on its shelf, fill two-thirds with boiling water from the kettle, then carefully slide it back in. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear off a large sheet of foil and greaseproof paper (about 30 x 40cm). Sit the greaseproof on top of the foil and butter it.
- Tip butter, flour and vanilla seeds into a food processor; pulse until the butter has disappeared. Tip into a mixing bowl. Stir through the suet, pour in the milk and work together with a cutlery knife until you get a sticky dough. You may need a drop more milk, depending on your flour.
- Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, quickly pat together to smooth, then roll out to a square roughly 25 x 25cm. Spread the jam all over, leaving a gap along one edge, then roll up from the opposite edge. Pinch the jam-free edge into the dough where it meets, and pinch the ends roughly, too. Carefully lift onto the greased paper, join-side down (you might find a flat baking sheet helpful for this), loosely bring up the paper and foil around it, then scrunch together along the edges and ends to seal. The roly-poly will puff quite a bit during cooking so don't wrap it tightly. Lift the parcel directly onto the rack above the tin and cook for 1 hr.
- Let the pudding sit for 5 mins before unwrapping, then carefully open the foil and paper, and thickly slice to serve.

ROLY POLY
This is how my mother (who hates cooking) always made roly poly, which is usually made with a suet pastry. I still remember it fondly - we had it with custard after Sunday lunch.
