Spotted Dick-my version of the Masterchef one.

Funny you should mention the jam roly poly Judy. I was thinking of making one this weekend and steaming it. I might still give it a go. I'll roll it in glad wrap or baking paper.

I have only ever tasted 1 roly poly Cookie and that was the one I made in high school over 50 years ago.

Mum used to make Jam Roly Poly and I have a similar recipe but for Butterscotch Roly Poly. I haven't tried steaming in the Varoma, but if it helps anyone here is a recipe:

Ingredients:
150g plain flour
20g butter
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt

Sauce:
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup sugar
few drops vanilla
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup syrup (probably golden)
raspberry jam, to spread

Method:
Rub butter through flour (do by TM), add other dry ingredients, mix with with approx 70g mik to make a firm to medium dough. Spread with jam, roll up and place in a baking dish. Pour sauce over and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Serve hot with custard.

Thanks CP, the butterscotch one sounds nice.

Sure does. You could always steam the roly poly and then pour the sauce over after. It wouldn't be all lovely and cooked into it though.
MJ Mum used to use suet too. I might even throw caution to the winds (have eaten out far too much this week already so suet won't hurt) and use suet to make it.
