Roly Poly before and after!

Rhubarb (or apple for the 'rhubarb resister') Roly Poly is a little treat at home as the weather cools.  Comfort food in the classical English pudding tradition. Although I must say this family favourite has surfaced on a menu or two over the years, albeit with a few embellishments.To be served with lavishing's of cream for sure.
A simple scone dough of:
  • 1 ½ cups SR flour
  • 1 tbl butter
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • Milk to mix
Rolled to a rectangle approx, ¾ cm thick. Covered in sliced rhubarb ( or apple or apple & rhubarb) and generously sprinkled with sugar (especially the rhubarb version). Rolled length ways, then cut into 6cm slices. Place in a baking dish. Combine the following ingredients:
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup boiling water
Cover the pudding with the sugar, butter, water mix and bake in moderate oven (approx. 175 C) for roughly an hour.

Enjoy

  7. We loved this, it was always so crispy on top and so wonderfully buttery/sweet/soggy on the bottom.

  9. This is the one my Father's Irish housekeeper made for us when we were growing up in New Orleans. If we were very "good" we got to choose what flavour "jam" was used.

  15. I love the Creamy Italian dressing that they have at Roly Poly! Anyone know if it's a specific brand, or if it's a house recipe? I'd love to find it.

  17. I struggled to stretch the dough to 20cm and it was very thin when I did manage it. I was dissapointed in the finished dessert and so were my sons.

  19. Not a great cookie.....but very good for young children who will eat the dough. It is an edible play dough that tastes better than other playdoughs. It crumbles when you cook it. and is very bland to taste. just not a keeper.

  20. Obviously a bit of spam in action here, probably should be hitting the trash can but it's a bit like a game of Chinese whispers. Watching my Grandmothes roly poly pudding recipe morp into edible playdough with Italian creamy dressing is a little entertaining, for now at least!
