Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  • Brush one side of the pastry with the warmed raspberry jam, leaving a 1cm/½in border all around the edge. Fold the jamless border in and brush with milk.
  • With the short side of the pastry sheet towards you, roll up the pastry loosely and seal the ends well.
  • Place the pastry roll onto a greased baking sheet with the sealed edge underneath.
  • Brush the pastry roll all over with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
  • Place into the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle on a little more demerara sugar.
  • To serve, place generous slices of the roly-poly into bowls and serve hot with custard.
