* 250 g (8 oz) self-raising flour
* 125 g (4 oz) shredded suet - eg: Atora
* 8 tablespoons water
* 4 tablespoons raspberry jam
* 1 egg, beaten
* Caster sugar for dusting
* Milk for brushing
* Pinch of table salt
===Method===
* Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - gas 6 - Moderately hot)
* In a sieve, sift the flour into a bowl with the pinch of table salt
* Add the water and suet and Knead to make a soft, dryish dough - not sticky
* Tip the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle, about 20 cm x 30 cm (8" x 12")
* Warm the jam for a few seconds in the microwave or over a bowl of hot water so it can be brushed easily
* Brush the jam onto the pastry., leaving a 1 cm (1/2") gap all around the edges
* Brush the border with milk
* With the short side nearest you, loosely roll up, away from you
* Lightly pinch the edges to seal
* Sit the roly-poly (long sealed edge) on a greased baking sheet
* Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caster sugar
* Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. It should be golden brown when done
